Question

Water is flowing through a channel that is 12m wide with a

Answer 1

Answer:

Velocity from second channel will be 1.6875 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given width of the channel , that is diameter of the channel 1 $d_1$ = 12 m

So radius $r_1=\frac{d_1}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6m$

Speed through the channel 1 $v_1=0.75m/sec$

Width , that is diameter of the channel 2 $d_2=4m$

So $r_2=2m$

From continuity equation

$A_1v_1=A_2v_2$

$\pi \times 12^2\times 0.75=4\times \pi\times 4^2\times v_2$

$v_2=1.6875m/sec$

So velocity from smaller channel will be 1.6875 m /sec
