Step-by-step explanation:

Given:


A_1 = 4.5 cm
^2


v_1 = 40 cm/s


v_2 = 90 cm/s


A_2 = ?

a) The continuity equation is given by


A_1v_1 = A_2v_2

Solving for
A_2,


A_2 = (v_1)/(v_2)A1 = \left(\frac{40\:\text{cm/s}}{90\:\text{cm/s}}\right)(4.5\:\text{cm}^2)


= 2\:\text{cm}^2

b) If the cross-sectional area is reduced by 50%, its new area
A_2' now is only 1 cm^2, which gives us a radius of


r = \sqrt{(A_2')/(\pi)} = 0.564\:\text{cm}
