An Incompressible Fluid Is Flowing Through a Pipe with a Constriction

An incompressible fluid is flowing through a pipe with a constriction. The pipe is on an incline with an angle of 20.0 degrees. The narrow section is 15.0 m from the wide section and the narrow section is lower than the wide section. The velocity of the fluid in the wide section of the pipe is 6.00 m/s and the velocity of the fluid in the narrow section of pipe is 9.00 m/s. The pressure of the fluid in the wide section is 250 kPa. What is the pressure in the narrow section of the pipe? (density of the fluid is 1,000 kg/m³)

A) 278 kPa
B) 228 kPa
C) 195 kPa
D) 167 kPa
E) 145 kPa
