A water line with an internal radius of 6.5 x 10⁻³ m is connected to a shower head that has 12 holes. The speed of the water in the line is 1.2 m/s.
(a) what is the volume flow rate in the line?
(b) At what speed does the water leave one of the holes (effective radius of = 4.6 x 10⁻⁴ m) in the head?
Give your answers in order to three 3 significant digits with the proper units.

Answer:

a) [tex]\dot V = 1.991\times 10^{-4}\,\frac{m^{3}}{s}[/tex], b) [tex]v = 99.835\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

Explanation:

a) The volume flow rate in the line is:

[tex]\dot V = \pi\cdot (6.5\times 10^{-3}\,m)^{2}\cdot (1.5\,\frac{m}{s})[/tex]

[tex]\dot V = 1.991\times 10^{-4}\,\frac{m^{3}}{s}[/tex]

b) The speed of the water leaving one of the holes are:

[tex]v = \frac{1.991\times 10^{-4}\,\frac{m^{3}}{s} }{(12)\cdot \left( \frac{\pi}{4} \right)\cdot (4.6\times 10^{-4}\,m)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]v = 99.835\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
