Water flows through a constricting pipe. At the inlet, the pressure is 100,000 Pa, the diameter is 1.6 m and the water flows at 1 m/s. The centerline of the outlet of the pipe is the same as the centerline of the inlet of the pipe. Solve for the PRESSURE and VELOCITY of the water exiting the pipe if the diameter is 0.8 m.

I know Bernoulli's equation, it's the solving for two unknowns that has me lost.

A discharge of 2.8m^3/s flows through a hydraulic turbine. On the 1 m inlet pipe at elevation 43.5 m, a pressure gage reads 345 kPa. On the 1.5 m discharge pipe at elevation 39, a vacuum gage reads 150 mm of mercury. If the total head lost through pipes and turbines between elevation 43.5 and 39 is 9 m, what power may be expected from the machine?
