Question

A man attaches a divider to an outdoor faucet so that water flows through a single pipe of radius 8.85 mm into four pipes, each with a radius of 5.60 mm. If water flows through the single pipe at 1.65 m/s, calculate the speed (in m/s) of the water in the narrower pipes.

m/s

Expert Solution

Step 1

The equation for continuity is

$A_{1} v_{1} = A_{2} v_{2}$

Rewrite the equation,

$v_{2} = \frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}} v_{1}$ (1)

The area of the single pipe is

$A_{1} = π r_{1}^{2}$

The area of the narrow pipe is

$A_{2} = π r_{2}^{2}$
