Question

Fluid runs through a drainage pipe with a 10-cm radius and a length of 30m (3000 cm). The velocity of the fluid gradually decreases from the center of the pipe toward the edges as a result of friction with the walls of the pipe. For the data shown, v(x) is the velocity of the fluid (in. cm/sec) and x represents the distance (in. cm) from the center of the pipe toward the edge.
