(N/A) venturi meter is a device used to measure the rate of flow of an incompressible fluid through a pipe.
It operates on the principle of Bernoulli's theorem.
It consists of a constriction or a 'throat' in the pipe,which causes a pressure difference between the wide part of the pipe and the narrow throat.
By measuring this pressure difference using a manometer,the velocity and the volume flow rate of the fluid can be calculated.

$A$ horizontal pipe of non-uniform cross-section allows water to flow through it with a velocity $1 \ m/s$ when the pressure is $50 \ kPa$ at a point. If the velocity of flow has to be $2 \ m/s$ at some other point, the pressure at that point should be: (in $kPa$)
