Water flows through a pipe with a cross-sectional area of 0.002 m^2 at a mass flow rate of 4 kg/s. The density of water is 1 000 kg/m^3 . The average velocity will be 2m/s

The flow rate of a liquid is how much fluid passes through an area in a particular time. Flow rate can be articulated in either in terms of velocity and cross-sectional area, or time and volume.

Flow rate = Volume of fluid / time

               = (Area * distance) / time

               =  Area * average velocity      (distance / time = average velocity)

Given

Cross-sectional area  = 0.002 [tex]m^{2}[/tex]

Flow rate =  4 kg/s

Average velocity = Flow rate / (Area * density)

                            = 4 / (0.002 * 1000)

                           = 2m/s

hence , the  average velocity will be 2 m/s
