We propose a new simple model of acoustic black hole in a thin tube, where the difference in the gravitational potential is used to create a transonic flow. The main merit of our transonic flow model is that the Euler equations can be solved analytically. In fact, we can obtain an exact solution to the equation in terms of a height function in the monatomic case $\gamma=5/3$. For arbitrary $\gamma$, we find that it takes a simple form by the near-sonic approximation. Moreover, we obtain two analytic solutions describing a backward wave and a forward wave, from which we can confirm the existence of sonic horizons.
