1. Water flows through a rubber hose 1.5 cm in diameter at a velocity of 4.5 m/s. What is the rate of flow in
m3/min?
𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝐹𝑙𝑜𝑤 = 𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦 × 𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑎

2. An open cylindrical tank 1.8m in diameter and 2.8m tall contains 2m deep of water. The tank is revolved about
its own vertical axis at uniform angular speed ω.
a. If ω = 70 rpm, how deep is the water at the center of the tank?
