Answer

0.094 m.

Work Step by Step

Use Poiseuille’s equation, 10-9, to find the radius. The diameter is double the radius. $$Q=\frac{\pi R^4 (P_1-P_2)}{8 \eta \mathcal{l}}$$ $$ d=2R=2(\frac{8 \eta \mathcal{l}Q}{\pi(P_1-P_2)})^{1/4}$$ The flow rate Q is $\frac{(8.0m)(14.0m)(4.0m)}{900s}=0.4978\; m^3/s$. The pressure difference is 73.13 Pa. $$ d=2R$$ $$=2(\frac{8(1.8\times10^{-5}\;Pa \cdot s)(15.5m)( 0.4978\; m^3/s)}{\pi(73.13\;Pa)})^{1/4}$$ $$=0.094\;m$$
