Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the mass flow rate of water flowing through a pipe of diameter 0.1m at a velocity of 3 m/s. Assume the density of water is 1000 kg/m³.

💡 Hint: Firstly, work out the area of the pipe cross-section.

Question 2

If a ship is moving through water at 5 m/s while the water is also flowing past it at 2 m/s, find the relative velocity of the water with respect to the ship.

💡 Hint: Remember to consider which direction is positive in your calculations.
