The flow rate of water from a tap of diameter 1.25 cm is 0.48 L/min. If the coefficient of viscoity of water is `10^(-3)`Pa s, what is the nature of flow of water ?
Hint : Velocity = `("Flow rate")/("Cross sectional area")`

To determine the nature of the flow of water from the tap, we will calculate the Reynolds number using the given flow rate, diameter of the tap, and the coefficient of viscosity. The steps are as follows: ### Step 1: Convert the Diameter to Meters The diameter of the tap is given as 1.25 cm. We need to convert this to meters for SI unit consistency. \[ \text{Diameter} = 1.25 \, \text{cm} = 1.25 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{m} \] ...
