(a) 5.66 m/s
The flow rate of the water in the pipe is given by
where
Q is the flow rate
A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe
v is the speed of the water
Here we have
the radius of the pipe is
r = 0.260 m
So the cross-sectional area is
So we can re-arrange the equation to find the speed of the water:
(b) 0.326 m
The flow rate along the pipe is conserved, so we can write:
where we have
and where is the cross-sectional area of the pipe at the second point.
Solving for A2,
And finally we can find the radius of the pipe at that point:
