A man attaches a divider to an outdoor faucet so that water flows through a single pipe of radius 9.25 mm into four pipes, each with a radius of 5.00 mm. If water flows through the single pipe at 1.45 m/s, calculate the speed (in m/s) of the water in the narrower pipes.

1.24 m/s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversion:

9.25 mm = 0.00925 m

5 mm = 0.005 m

The volume rate that flow through the single pipe is

This volume rate should be constant and divided into the 4 narrower pipes, each of them would have a volume rate of

So the flow speed of each of the narrower pipe is:

1 - wave length

2 - amplitude

3 - crest

4 - trough

explanation:

duh.
