The velocities and corresponding flow areas of the branches labelled 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 for a pipe system shown in the given figure are given in the following table: Pipe Label Velocity Area 1 5 cm/s 4 cm2 2 6 cm/s 5 cm2 3 V3 cm/s 2 cm2 4 4 cm/s 10 cm2 5 V5 cm/s 8 cm2   The velocity V5 would be Correct Answer 2.5 cm/s

Q1 + Q5 = Q4

5 × 4 + 8V5 = 4 × 10

∴ V5 = 2.5 m/s
