An Incompressible Fluid Is Flowing Through a Horizontal Pipe with a Constriction

An incompressible fluid is flowing through a horizontal pipe with a constriction. The velocity of the fluid in the wide section of the pipe is 5.00 m/s. The diameter of the wide section is 10.0 cm and the diameter of the narrow section is 8.00 cm. The pressure of the fluid in the wide section is 200 kPa. What is the pressure in the narrow section of the pipe? (density of the fluid is 680 kg/m³)

A) 188 kPa
B) 175 kPa
C) 160 kPa
D) 152 kPa
E) 148 kPa
