When a particular discharge is flowing in a horizontal pipe, a mercury-water U-tube manometer connccted to the entrance and throat of a venturimeter fitted in the pipe recorded a deflection of 25 cm. If the same discharge flowed through the same pipe kept at an inclination of 45° to the horizontal, then the corresponding deflection recorded by the U-tube manometer will be
