Water flows around the vertical two-dimensional bend with circular streamlines as is shown in Fig. P3.13. The pressure at point (1) is measured to be \(p_{1}=25 \mathrm{psi}\) and the velocity across section \(a-a\) is as indicated in the table. Calculate and plot the pressure across section \(a-a\) of the channel \([p=p(z)\) for \(0 \leq z \leq 2 \mathrm{ft}]\).
