Answer

$1$

Work Step by Step

The volume flow rate in the 1.9 cm diameter pipe is: $A_1v_1=56\;L/min$ The volume flow rate in the 1.3 cm diameter pipe is: $A_2v_2=26\;L/min$ Now, $\frac{A_1v_1}{A_2v_2}=\frac{56}{26}$ or, $\frac{v_1}{v_2}=\frac{56}{26}\times\frac{A_2}{A_1}$ or, $\frac{v_1}{v_2}=\frac{56}{26}\times\frac{d_2^2}{d_1^2}$ or, $\frac{v_1}{v_2}=\frac{56}{26}\times\frac{1.3^2}{1.9^2}$ or, $\frac{v_1}{v_2}\approx1$ Therefore, the ratio of the speed is $1$
