The cross section of a pipe is 2m2 with fluid flowing at the rate of 2m/sec, the volume. flow rate is
Correct answer: C. 4m3/sec
- A. 8m3/sec
- B. 6m3/sec
- C. 4m3/sec
- D. None of these
Explanation
To find the volumetric flow rate, use the formula: Flow rate = Cross-sectional area × Velocity. Given that the cross-sectional area of the pipe is 2m2 and the velocity of the fluid is 2m/sec, the flow rate is calculated as follows: Flow rate = 2m2 × 2m/sec = 4m3/sec. Therefore, Option C is correct. Option A is incorrect because it assumes a different calculation. Option B is incorrect as it is not derivable from the provided data. Option D is incorrect because the correct answer is provided in the options.

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.
