Water flows through a pipe of diameter 8.00 cm at 45.0 m/min. Find the flow rate (a) in m3 /min and (b) in L/s.

Respuesta :

The flow rates of water through the pipe illustrates how the water flows through the pipe, and the flow rates are  (a) 0.23 m³/min and (b) 3.77 L/s

The flow rate of water in m³/min

The given parameters are:

  • Diameter, d = 8.00 cm
  • Velocity, v = 45.0 m/min

Express the unit of the diameter as meters (m)

d = 8.00 * 0.01 m

d = 0.08 m

The area is then calculated using:

A = π(d/2)²

So, we have:

A = 3.14 * (0.08/2)²

Evaluate

A = 0.005024 m²

The flow rate (Q) is then calculated using:

Q = A * v

This gives

Q = 0.005024 m² * 45.0 m/min

Evaluate

Q = 0.22608 m³/min

Approximate

Q = 0.23 m³/min

Hence, the water flow rate is 0.23 m³/min

The flow rate of water in L/s

In (a), we have:

Q = 0.22608 m³/min

Convert minutes to seconds

Q = 0.22608 m³/(60 s)

Divide

Q = 0.003768 m³/s

Convert m³ to L

Q = 0.003768 * 1000 L/s

Evaluate the product

Q = 3.768 L/s

Approximate

Q = 3.77 L/s

Hence, the water flow rate is 3.77 L/s
