Answer:
Discharge = area of the pipe or channel × velocity of the liquid
Q = Av
Step-by-step explanation:
The flow rate of a liquid is a measure of the volume of liquid that moves in a certain amount of time. The flow rate depends on the area of the pipe or channel that the liquid is moving through, and the velocity of the liquid. If the liquid is flowing through a pipe, the area is A = πr2, where r is the radius of the pipe. For a rectangle, the area is A = wh where w is the width, and h is the height. The flow rate can be measured in meters cubed per second (m3/s), or in liters per second (L/s). Liters are more common for measures of liquid volume, and 1 m3/s = 1000 L/s.
