If we stretch a pipe to double of its length then flow rate

Correct answer: B. Half

  • A. Double
  • B. Half
  • C. Remain same
  • D. Quadrupled

Explanation

According to Poiseuille's Law, the flow rate through a pipe is inversely proportional to the length of the pipe. Doubling the length of the pipe increases the resistance to flow, which decreases the flow rate. Therefore, the correct answer is that the flow rate is halved if all other factors remain unchanged. The other options are incorrect because they either misunderstand the relationship between pipe length and flow rate or ignore the increase in resistance.

About Fluid Dynamics

Fluid flow is described through speed, pressure and density, including steady flow and the equation of continuity for conserving mass. Bernoulli's equation relates pressure, speed and height, while fluid drag and terminal velocity explain why a falling object eventually moves at constant speed when drag balances its weight.
