What's the difference between a fluid's flow rate and flow speed? I use the continuity equation to get the flow speed I thought but I couldn't think of how to get the rate. Here's the exact question if you want that for reference:
A liquid of density equal to 1.85 g/cm^3 flows through two horizontal sections of tubing joined end to end. In the first section (large section) the cross-sectional area is 10 cm^2, the flow speed is 275 cm/s, and the pressure is 1.2E5 Pa. In the second section (small section), the diameter of the tube is 2.5 cm.
-Find the flow speed, flow rate, and the pressure in the small tube section.
Thank you for your time and help!
