Answer

See a detailed answer below.

Work Step by Step

Let's assume that the liquid in the pipe is identical and noncompressible. So we can use Bernoulli’s equation of $$ P_0+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_0^2+\rho g y_0=P_1+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2+\rho g y_1$$ As we see in the figure below, the right side of the pipe extends vertically in both directions uniformly in the $y$-axis. So, $y_1=-h+h+y_0=y_0$. So they cancel each other from Bernoulli’s formula above. $$ P_0+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_0^2 =P_1+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 $$ Solving for $P_1$; $$P_1 = P_0+\frac{1}{2}\rho( v_0^2 - v_1^2 ) \tag 1$$ Now we need to find $v_1$ in terms of $v_0$. We can use the equation of continuity $v_1A_1 = v_0A_0$, so $$v_1=\dfrac{v_0A_0}{A_1}$$ where $A_1=\pi r_1^2$ where $r_1=d_1/2$, and $A_0=\pi r_0^2$ where $r_0=d_0/2$. Thus, $$v_1=\dfrac{v_0\color{red}{\bf\not} \pi \left[\frac{d_0}{\color{red}{\bf\not} 2}\right]^2}{\color{red}{\bf\not} \pi \left[\frac{d_1}{\color{red}{\bf\not} 2}\right]^2}$$ $$v_1=\dfrac{v_0 d_0^2}{ d_1^2}$$ Plugging into (1); $$P_1 = P_0+\frac{1}{2}\rho\left( v_0^2 - \left[\dfrac{v_0 d_0^2}{ d_1^2}\right]^2 \right) $$ $$\boxed{P_1 = P_0+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_0^2\left(1 - \dfrac{ d_0^4}{ d_1^4} \right) } $$ --- b) Here we just need to plug the given (and the known) into the boxed formula above. $$ P_1 = (50\times 10^3)+\frac{1}{2}(1000)(10)^2\left(1 - \dfrac{ (0.168)^4}{ (0.20)^4} \right) =75106.4\;\rm Pa $$ $$P_1=\color{red}{\bf 75.1}\;\rm kPa$$
