A hollow pipe is submerged in a stream of water so that the length of the pipe is parallel to the velocity of the water. If the water speed doubles and the cross-sectional area of the pipe triples, what happens to the volume flow rate of the water passing through it?

increases by a factor of 6.

Explanation:

Let us assume that the initial cross sectional area of the pipe is A m² while the initial velocity of the water is V m/s², hence the flow rate of the water is:

Initial flow rate = area * velocity = A * V = AV m³/s

The water speed doubles (2V m/s) and the cross-sectional area of the pipe triples (3A m²), hence the volume flow rate becomes:

Final flow rate = 2V * 3A = 6AV m³/s = 6 * initial flow rate

Hence, the volume flow rate of the water passing through it increases by a factor of 6.
