Answer:

0.75 m³/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

Q = vA.................... Equation 1

Where Q = flow rate of the water, v = velocity of the water, A = area of the pipe.

From the question,

Given: v = 2.5 m/s, A = 0.3 m²

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = 2.5(0.3)

Q = 0.75 m³/s

Hence the flow rate of water in the pipe is 0.75 m³/s
