  • A
    The speed at which a fluid becomes turbulent.
  • B
    The speed at which a fluid remains laminar.
  • C
    The speed at which fluid density changes.
  • D

Water from a pipe is coming at a rate of $100\, L/min$. If the radius of the pipe is $5\, cm$, the Reynolds number for the flow is of the order of: (density of water $= 1000\, kg/m^3$, coefficient of viscosity of water $= 1\, mPa\, s$)

If it takes $5\,minutes$ to fill a $15\,litre$ bucket from a water tap of diameter $\frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}}\,cm$,then the Reynolds number for the flow is (density of water $= 10^3\,kg/m^3$ and viscosity of water $= 10^{-3}\,Pa\cdot s$) close to

$A$ liquid of density $10^3 \, kg/m^3$ and coefficient of viscosity $8 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{decapoise}$ is flowing in a tube of radius $2 \, cm$ with speed $2 \, m/s$. The Reynold's number is ..........

Two different liquids are flowing in two tubes of equal radius. The ratio of coefficients of viscosity of liquids is $52:49$ and the ratio of their densities is $13:1$,then the ratio of their critical velocities will be

Two tubes of radii $r_1$ and $r_2$,and lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$,respectively,are connected in series and a liquid flows through each of them in streamline conditions. $P_1$ and $P_2$ are pressure differences across the two tubes. If $P_2 = 4P_1$ and $l_2 = \frac{l_1}{4}$,then the radius $r_2$ will be equal to:
