A 1 m deep stream of water flowing at 1 cm/s will have a Reynolds number = X and the flow will be Y. Choose the correct values of X and Y below. There is only one correct answer.
Remember:
- the viscosity of water is 0.001 Pa s
- the density of water is 1000 kg/m³
NOTE: use consistent units (m, kg, s)

Question

A 1 m deep stream of water flowing at 1 cm/s will have a Reynolds number = X and the flow will be Y. Choose the correct values of X and Y below. There is only one correct answer.

Accepted Answer

X = 10,000, greater than the critical Reynolds number, then Y = turbulent

Answer

X = 5000, greater than the critical Reynolds number, then Y = turbulent

Answer

X = 5,000,000, greater than the critical Reynolds number, then Y = turbulent

Answer

X = 1,000,000, greater than the critical Reynolds number, then Y = laminar

Answer

X = 200, smaller than the critical Reynolds number, then and Y = laminar
