Water is flowing in the pipe shown in the figure below, with the 8.45-cm diameter at point 1 tapering to \( 3.95 \mathrm{~cm} \) at point 2 , located \( y=13.0 \mathrm{~cm} \) below point 1 . The water pressure at point 1 is \( 3.20 \times 10^{4} \) Pa and decreases by \( 50 \% \) at point 2 . Assume steady, ideal flow. What is the speed of the water at the following points? (a) point 1 \[ \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} \] (b) point 2 \[ \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} \]
