Answer:
Flow rate 2.34 m3/s
Diameter 0.754 m
Explanation:
Assuming steady flow, the volume flow rate along the pipe will always be constant, and equals to the product of flow speed and cross-section area.
The area at the well head is
So the volume flow rate along the pipe is
We can use the similar logic to find the cross-section area at the refinery
The radius of the pipe at the refinery is:
So the diameter is twice the radius = 0.38*2 = 0.754m
We know, F = m * a
F = 10 * 5
F = 50 N
In short, Your Answer would be 50 Newtons
Hope this helps!
