Answer

$V=\sqrt {\frac{2a^2\Delta p}{\rho(a^2-A^2)}}$

Work Step by Step

Applying the Bernoulli’s equation between the points B and A, we obtain $p_1+\frac{1}{2}ρV^2+ρgy=p_2+\frac{1}{2}ρv^2+ρgy$ or, $\frac{1}{2}ρV^2=p_2-p_1+\frac{1}{2}ρv^2$ or, $\frac{1}{2}ρV^2=\Delta p+\frac{1}{2}ρv^2$ Applying the equation continuity between the points B and A, we obtain $v=\frac{AV}{a}$ Thus $\frac{1}{2}ρV^2=\Delta p+\frac{1}{2}ρ(\frac{AV}{a})^2$ or, $V^2(\frac{a^2-A^2}{a^2})=\frac{2\Delta p}{\rho}$ or, $\boxed{V=\sqrt {\frac{2a^2\Delta p}{\rho(a^2-A^2)}}}$
