Answer

Final Speed at the top is 2.5 m/s Pressure at the top is 2.2 atm

Work Step by Step

Solving for speed at the top: In this, subscript 1 means initial or at the bottom and subscript 2 means final or at the top. Therefore: $A_1v_1 = A_2v_2$ Solving for $v_2$ $v_2 = \frac{A_1v_1}{A_2} = \frac{.025^2*3.14*.78}{.014^2*3.14}$ = 2.5 m/s For the Pressure, we use the Bernoulli's Principle: $P_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 + \rho g y_1 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 + \rho g y_2$ Because $y_1$ = 0, that term is gone so we can solve for $P_2$ by saying: $P_2 = P_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 - \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 - \rho g y_2$ With the density of water being 1000 = (3.8*101300) + ($\frac{1}{2}$ * 1000*.78$^2$) - ($\frac{1}{2}$ * 1000*2.5$^2$) - (1000*9.8*16) =225319.2/101300 = 2.2 atm
