Water flows steadily through a diverging tube as shown in figure Q2 . If frictional losses are negligible then: 

a) Calculate the pressure difference that the height difference of the liquid in the manometer shows.

b) Determine the velocities V1,V2 and V3 at the three locations (1), (2) and (3) of the tube

c) State all the assumptions made.

water = 1000 kg m-3, manometer liquid = 3000 kg m^-3
