Question

Fluid runs through a drainage pipe with a 10-cm radius and a length of 25 m (2500 cm). The velocity of the fluid gradually decreases from the center of the pipe toward the edges as a result of friction with the walls of the pipe. For the data shown, vx is the velocity of the fluid (in /cmsec) and x represents the distance (in cm) from the center of the pipe toward the edge. Determine how long it will take fluid at a point 9 cm from the center of the pipe to run the length of the pipe. Round to 1 decimal place.

Step 1

To calculate the average velocity, we need to find the initial and final velocities at the point 9 cm from the center of the pipe. Let's assume the initial velocity at the center of the pipe is v0 and the final velocity at the edge of the pipe is v2500. Given Show more…
