A steady stream of water flowing in a narrow pipe reaches a point where the pipe widens. Does the speed of the water increase, decrease, or remain the same when the pipe widens? Explain.
Suppose an incompressible ideal fluid is flowing in a horizontal pipe. 1) Consider the effect on the flow speed when the fluid flows from a section where the radius of the pipe is large to a region where the radius of the pipe is smaller. a) The flow speed remains constant. b) The flow speed decreases. c) The flow speed increases. 2. Consider the effect on the pressure in the fluid when the fluid flows from a section where the radius of the pipe is large to a region where the radius of the pipe is smaller. a) The pressure increases. b) The pressure remains constant. c) The pressure decreases.
