Answer

(a) $94Pa$ (b) $0.0025\frac{m^3}{s}$

Work Step by Step

(a) The pressure difference can be determined as $A=\frac{\pi D^2}{4}$ $A=\frac{\pi(0.052)^2}{4}=0.002124m^2$ Now $P_1-P_2=8\pi \eta \frac{vL}{A}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $P_1-P_2=8\pi \eta \frac{vL}{A}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $P_1-P_2=\frac{8\pi(0.00012)(1.2)(55)}{0.002124}=94Pa$ (b) The volume flow rate is given as $Volume\space flow \space rate=Av$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $Volume \space rate=0.00212(1.2)=0.0025\frac{m^3}{s}$
