Water (density $1000\mathit{k}\mathit{g}/{\mathit{m}}^3$ ) flows through an inclined pipe of uniform diameter. The velocity, pressure and elevation at section $\mathit{A}$ are ${\mathit{V}}_{\mathit{A}}=3.2\mathit{m}/\mathit{s},{\mathit{p}}_{\mathit{A}}=186\mathit{k}\mathit{P}\mathit{a}$ and ${\mathit{z}}_{\mathit{A}}=24.5$ $\mathit{m}$, respectively, and those at section $\mathit{B}$ are ${\mathit{V}}_{\mathit{B}}=3.2\mathit{m}/\mathit{s},{\mathit{p}}_{\mathit{B}}=260\mathit{k}\mathit{P}\mathit{a}$ and ${\mathit{z}}_{\mathit{B}}=9.1\mathit{m}$, respectively. If acceleration due to gravity is $10\mathit{m}/{\mathit{s}}^2$ then the head lost due to friction is _________________ m (round off to one decimal place).
