A horizontal pipe (Venturi Tube) 10.0 cm in diameter has a smooth reduction to a pipe 5.00 cm in diameter. If the pressure of the water in the larger pipe is 2.0 x 105 Pa and the pressure in the smaller pipe is 5.0 x 104 Pa, at what rate does water flow through the pipes. Hint: Use the continuity equation to express one speed in terms of the another.
