Calculate the Reynolds number for water flowing through a pipe of radius 10 cm at a rate of 20 cm/s. The viscosity of water at 20oC is 0.0010016 Pa s, and it's density is 1 kg / L.

The Reynolds Number (Re) is an important dimensionless quantity in fluid mechanics that is used predict flow patterns in different fluid flow situations. It is the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces. Calculate and print the Reynolds number for a fluid with velocity 100 m/s and kinematic viscosity 1.2 (m^2)/s, with characteristic linear dimension 2.5 m.

A fluid flows through a horizontal 0.1-in.-diameter pipe. When the Reynolds number is $1500,$ the head loss over a $20-f t$ lenzth of the pipe is $6.4 \mathrm{ft}$. Determine the fluid velocity.
