2/g m of water
g/2 m of water
1g m of water
g m of water.

Q1 = A1 * V1,
V1 = Q1/A1,
Q = 0.3,
A1 = 0.1,
V = 0.3/0.1 = 3.

Q2 = Q1 = 0.3.
= A2 * V2,
V2 = Q2/A2, 0.3/0.1=1.

HL = (V1-V2)^2/2g,(3-1)^2/2g.
=2^2/2g,4/2g,
=2/g.

@All.

If pressure head and static heads are neglected then the Bernoulli equation becomes
[(V1)^2]/2.g = [(V2)^2 ]/2g+ head loss.

The answer should be 4/g mtr.

h(en) = ( v1-v2)^2 / 2g.

= (Q/A1 - Q/A2)^2 / 2g.

= (0.3/0.1 - 0.3/0.3)^2 / 2g.

= (3-1)^2 / 2g.

= 2/g m of water.

V1 = .3/.1 = 3
V2 = .3/.3 = 1

Head loss = v^2/2g.
= (3-1)^2/2g,
= 2/g.
