Question
A man attaches a divider to an outdoor faucet so that water flows through a single pipe of radius 9.25 mm into four pipes, each with a radius of 5.00 mm. If water flows through the single pipe at 1.45 m/s, calculate the speed (in m/s) of the water in the narrower pipes.

Answer:
1.24 m/s
Explanation:
Metric unit conversion:
9.25 mm = 0.00925 m
5 mm = 0.005 m
The volume rate that flow through the single pipe is
This volume rate should be constant and divided into the 4 narrower pipes, each of them would have a volume rate of
So the flow speed of each of the narrower pipe is:
