Question: Two brass pipes ( a large pipe and a small pipe ) are connected with water flowing from the smaller pipe into the larger pipe

Two brass pipes (a large pipe and a small pipe) are connected with water flowing from the smaller pipe into the larger pipe from left to right (as shown in the figure below). If the flowrate is 5 cfs , the length and area of the smaller pipe is 100' and 0.5ft2, and the length and area of the larger pipe is 75' and 0.5ft2, what is the pressure difference between the two pipes (i.e., what is PlargePipe-Psmallpipe)? Assume the water is at 70F and standard pressure.
