To solve the problem, we will use the principle of continuity for fluid flow, which states that for an incompressible fluid, the product of the cross-sectional area and the velocity at one point is equal to the product at another point. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values:** - Velocity at the inlet (v1) = 2 m/s - Velocity at the outlet (v2) = 8 m/s ...
