Homework Statement
Two tubes carry the same incompressible fluid with viscosity 1.5 Pl. They have lengths L1 = 6 and L2 = 22 m and diameters d1 = 1.2 and d2 = 4.5 cm. What is the ratio of their flow rates F1/F2?
Homework Equations
Poiseuille's law: 8nLI/(pi*r^4)
while n is viscosity
L is the length
R is radius
The Attempt at a Solution
F1= (8*1.5*6*I) / (pi*(1.2/2)^4)
F2= (8*1.5*22*I) / (pi*(4.5/2)^4)
The ratio F1/F2 is:
(8*1.5*6*I) / (pi*(1.2/2)^4)* (pi*(4.5/2)^4)/ (8*1.5*22*I)
F1/F2= 46.296*1.1649= 53.932.
And this is wrong, can u help??
