Homework Statement
Every second, 1.2 cubic meters of water enters a heating system through a pipe of medium width, A, with a cross sectional area of .2 meters squared. The water then flows into a wide pipe, B, with an area of .6 meters squared, and flows out through a narrow peipe, C, with an area of .1 meters squared.
1) what is the flow rate in each pipe?
2) what is the length of the segment of pipe A that contains 1.2 cubic meters of water? What is the length of segment B? C?
3) How much time is required for water to travel the lengths you found in pipe A? B? C?
4) What is the flow speed of water in each pipe?
5) Does the speed of water increase when it enters a narrow pipe? Does the flow rate increase? Explain.
Homework Equations
area 1 * velocity 1 = area 2 * velocity 2
