5. A variable area flowmeter (rotameter) is used to find the flow rate of water at room temperature. The rotameter is 18 inches log with the smallest and largest di- ameters of 1.75 and 4 inches, respectively. The floater is a stainless steel ball, 2 inches in diameter. Find the volumetric flow rate when the floater mid-plane is at 1 foot from the entrance to the meter. [Ans.: 27 GPM].
