question 50

Multiple Choice

• A)The flow must be at a slower speed at the end with a greater diameter.
• B)The speed of the flow must be the same at both ends.
• C)Pressures and tube heights must be known to relate the flow speeds at the two ends.
• D)The flow must be at a faster speed at the end with a greater diameter.
• E)No conclusions can be reached based on this information.
