Fluids
A fluid flows through a pipe with a constant cross-sectional area. If the fluid's velocity increases, what happens to the volume flow rate, assuming the fluid is incompressible?
The volume flow rate decreases.
The volume flow rate remains constant.

A large water tank has a small leak near the bottom. The water level is initially at a height above the hole, and the exit velocity is determined by Torricelli's theorem. If viscous losses are present, how would the actual exit velocity compare to the velocity predicted by Torricelli's theorem?
The actual exit velocity would be higher.
The actual exit velocity would be lower.
The actual exit velocity would be the same.
The actual exit velocity would fluctuate randomly.
