An orifice having a diameter of 1 in is used to measure the flowrate of an oil

Question:

An orifice having a diameter of 1 in is used to measure the flowrate of an oil (SG = 0.9, μ = 50 cP) in a horizontal, 2-in, schedule-40 pipe at 70°F. The pressure drop across the orifice is measured by a mercury (SG = 13.6) manometer, which reads 2.0 cm. Calculate the volumetric flowrate of the oil.
