If water is flowing through a pipe with diameter d1 = 6.0 cm at v1 = 3.0 m/s and then moves into a new pipe and begins to flow at 9.0 m/s, what is the diameter of the new pipe?
Added by Scott R.
Step 1
This is because the water cannot be compressed or expanded, so the amount of water entering the pipe must equal the amount of water leaving the pipe. The flow rate can be calculated using the formula Q = vA, where v is the velocity of the water and A is the Show more…

A fluid flows through a pipe with a speed of $1.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. The diameter of the pipe is $2.7 \mathrm{~cm}$. Further along, the diameter of the pipe changes, and the fluid flowing in this section has a speed of $3.1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. What is the new diameter of the pipe?
