I'm no good with fluid dynamics. I really am willing to improve can someone point me to what equation I should use for this question. I assume its bernoullis equation? I've drawn a diagram of how I see the pipe.

To make things worse I haven't done fluids in quite a while.

Please can someone give a hint on where I should start.

Thank you!
