Solution

The correct option is C 3200
Given, speed of water, (v)=16 cm/s=16×102 m/s
Co-efficient of viscocity of water, η=0.01 poise
Radius of tube, (r)=10 cm
Diameter of tube, (D)=2r=20 cm=20×102 m/s
Density of water, ρ=1000 kg/m3
We know from the definition of
Reynolds number, (R)=ρvDη
=1000×16×102×20×1020.01
R=3200
Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
