An orifice having a diameter of 1 in is used to measure the flowrate of SAE 10

Question:

An orifice having a diameter of 1 in is used to measure the flowrate of SAE 10 lube oil (SG = 0.928, μ = 60 cP) in a 2.5-in, schedule-40, commercial-steel pipe at 70°F. The pressure drop across the orifice is measured by a mercury (SG = 13.6)

manometer, which reads 3 cm.

Calculate the volumetric flowrate of the oil.

How much power is required to pump the oil through the orifice (not the pipe, just the orifice)?
