Problem

Water flows steadily through a horizontal pipeline that contracts from a wider to a narrower circular section. a. (i) The diameter changes from 6 cm6\,\text{cm} to 4 cm4\,\text{cm}. If the average speed in the wider section is 2.0 m s−12.0\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}, calculate the speed in the narrower section. b. (ii) Determine the volume of water that leaves the narrower section in 5 min5\,\text{min}, expressing your answer first in m3\text{m}^3 and then in litres.
