A pipe carrying water has a radius of 1.0 cm.If the flow velocity is 9.0 cm/s,which of the following characterizes the flow? Take the viscosity of water to be 1.0 ´ 10^-3 N*s/m. A)streamlined B)unstable C)turbulent D)stagnant

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The flow is characterized by the Reynolds number, which is calculated as Re = (density × velocity × diameter) / viscosity. For water, density is approximately 1000 kg/m³. Substituting the given values, Re is less than 2000, indicating streamlined flow.
