A pump is rated to deliver 50.0 gal/min. Find the velocity of water (in ft/min) in (a) a 6.00-in.-diameter pipe and (b) a 3.00-in.-diameter pipe. Show your work. (Hint: there will be a few unit conversions here! 1 ft3 = 7.48 gallons)

Step 1
00-in.-diameter pipe. Given diameter = 6.00 inches Radius = 6.00 / 2 = 3.00 inches = 0.25 feet Area = π * (0.25)^2 = π * 0.0625 = 0.19635 ft^2 Show more…
