MDCAT Physics MCQ #1831

  1. Question 1

    Q1. To maintain a flow rate of 0.001 m³/s at a speed of 10 m/s, what must be the radius of the pipe?

    • A) 1.2 mm
    • B) 2.4 mm
    • C) 3.2 mm
    • D) 5.6 mm

    Answer: 5.6 mm

    Explanation: Flow rate Q = Area * v = πr²v. Thus 0.001 = 3.14 * r² * 10. r² ≈ 0.0000318, so r ≈ 0.0056 m or 5.6 mm.
