If water flows with a velocity of \(20 \mathrm{~cm} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\) in a pipe of radius 2 cm, then the flow is
(The coefficient of viscosity of water is \(10^{-3} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-1} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\) and density of water is \(\left.10^3 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}\right)\).

  1. A turbulant
  2. B steady flow
  3. C non-viscous
  4. D unsteady
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) turbulant

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( D = 2r = 2 \times 0.02 \mathrm{~m} = 0.04 \mathrm{~m} \) \( \mathrm{Re} = \frac{\rho v D}{\eta} \) \( \mathrm{Re} = \frac{(10^3 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3})(0.20 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1})(0.04 \mathrm{~m})}{10^{-3} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-1} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}} \)…
