Calculate area of a pipe if, flow rate is 20 l/min and flow velocity is 5 cm/s.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The area of the pipe can be calculated using the formula for flow rate: $Q = A \times v$, where $Q$ is the flow rate, $A$ is the area, and $v$ is the velocity. First, convert the flow rate from liters per minute to cubic centimeters per second: $20 \, \text{l/min} = 20000 \, \text{cm}^3/\text{min} = \frac{20000}{60} \, \text{cm}^3/\text{s} = 333.33 \, \text{cm}^3/\text{s}$. Then, solve for $A$: $A = \frac{Q}{v} = \frac{333.33 \, \text{cm}^3/\text{s}}{5 \, \text{cm/s}} = 66.66 \, \text{cm}^2$.
