A viscous fluid flows in two different pipes. Pipe 1 has a radius r1, and Pipe 2 has a radius r2. If both pipes have the same length and r1 > r2, choose the correct statement about the pressure difference of the fluid in Pipe 1 and Pipe 2. Assume that the volume flow rates are the same in the two pipes. Group of answer choices The fluid in Pipe 1 has larger pressure difference. The fluid in Pipe 2 has larger pressure difference. The pressure difference of the fluid is the same in Pipe 1 and Pipe 2. It cannot be determined in which pipe the fluid has larger pressure difference.
An outdoor, rectangular pool on campus is 4.5 meters [m] in width and 7.5 meters [m] in length. You may assume the depth of the pool is constant.
