Answer :

Answer:

Increases by a factor of 16

Explanation:

Mass flow is conserved. Since liquids are practically incompressible (constant density), we can say that the volume flow is also conserved. Volume flow is equal to the velocity times the cross sectional area. For a round pipe, the cross sectional area is one fourth pi times the square of the diameter.

V₁ = V₂

v₁A₁ = v₂A₂

v₁ (¼ π D²) = v₂ (¼ π (D/4)²)

v₁ D² = v₂ (D/4)²

v₁ D² = v₂ D² / 16

v₂ = 16v₁

The speed increases by a factor of 16.
