1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
oil w/ density of 850 kgm^3 goes through a pipe diameter 8 cm at a rate of 9.5 liters / s.
what is the speed of the oil?
2. Relevant equations
v_1 = (dv/dt)/a_1 = (9.5*10^-3)/(pi(.04)^2) = 1.9 m/s
3. The attempt at a solution
i have the solution because this problem was given to me. I just dont understand where the 10^-3 came from and how it was derived.
