  1. Question 1

    Q1. The flow rate of a fluid through a pipe is 0.05 m³/s. If the pipe has a radius of 0.1 m, what is the velocity?

    • A) 1.59 m/s
    • B) 1.59 x 10^-1 m/s
    • C) 1.59 x 10^-2 m/s
    • D) 1.59 x 10^-3 m/s

    Answer: 1.59 m/s

    Explanation: v = Q/A = 0.05 m³/s / (π * (0.1 m)²) = 1.59 m/s; correct application of equation of continuity.
