Poiseuille's Law Says That the Rate of Flow, F, of a Gas

question 56

Short Answer

Poiseuille's law says that the rate of flow, F, of a gas through a cylindrical pipe is proportional to the fourth power of the radius of the pipe, r. If the rate of flow is 400 cm³/sec in a pipe of radius 2 cm for a certain gas, how many cm³/sec flow through a pipe with a 6 cm radius? Round to 2 decimal places.
