Water flows at a speed of 15 m/s through a pipe that has a radius of 0.40 m. The water then flows through a smaller pipe at a speed of 45 m/s. What is the radius of the smaller pipe?

The radius of the smaller pipe can be calculated using the equation for the continuity of flow, which states that the flow rate (Q) is equal to the product of the cross-sectional area (A) and the velocity (V).
Q = A * V
Therefore, the radius of the smaller pipe can be calculated as follows:
r = (Q / V) / π
r = (15 m/s * 0.40 m) / (45 m/s * π)
r = 0.13 m
Q = A * V
Therefore, the radius of the smaller pipe can be calculated as follows:
r = (Q / V) / π
r = (15 m/s * 0.40 m) / (45 m/s * π)
r = 0.13 m
