The pressure in a section of horizontal pipe with a diameter of 2 cm is 143 kPa. Water flows through the pipe at 2.80 L/ s. If the pressure at a certain point is to be reduced to 103 kPa by constricting a section of the pipe, what should the diameter of the constricted section be? Assume laminar nonviscous flow. Express your answer in meters to four decimal places.
