Water flows through a pipe of radius 8.0 cm with a speed of 10.0 m/s. It then enters a smaller pipe of radius 3.0 cm. What is the speed of the water as it flows through the smaller pipe? Assume that the water is incompressible.

Step 1
Given radius of the larger pipe, r1 = 8.0 cm = 0.08 m Area of the larger pipe, A1 = πr1^2 A1 = π(0.08)^2 A1 = 0.0201 m^2 Show more…

Water is flowing in a cylindrical pipe of varying circular cross-sectional area, and at all points the water completely fills the pipe. (a) At one point in the pipe, the radius is 0.150 $\mathrm{m} .$ What is the speed of the water at this point if the volume flow rate in the pipe is 1.20 $\mathrm{m}^{3} / \mathrm{s} ?$ (b) At a second point in the pipe, the water speed is 3.80 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ . What is the radius of the pipe at this point?
