A water pipe has a diameter of 0.5 m and a velocity of 2 m/s. If the diameter of a downstream section of pipe is 0.25 m, what is the new velocity?
💡 Hint: Remember to convert diameter to radius before calculating area.
In an irrigation system, water flows from a wider channel of 5 m² area to a narrow nozzle of 1 m² area. If the flow velocity in the wide channel is 4 m/s, find the velocity at the nozzle.
💡 Hint: Ensure you correctly use the areas and velocities.
