Question

I need help correcting the first part of this question.

**Velocity Profile Analysis**

A fluid flows through a pipe of radius \( R \) with a Reynolds number of \( 2 \times 10^5 \). 

**Question (a):** At what location, \( r / R \), does the fluid velocity equal the average velocity?

- **Answer (a):** \( r / R = 0.778 \)

**Question (b):** Repeat if the Reynolds number is 1000.

- **Answer (b):** \( r / R = 0.7071 \)

**Explanation:**

This analysis determines the specific radial location \((r)\) within a pipe where the fluid velocity equals the average velocity, for two different flow conditions based on Reynolds numbers. The Reynolds number is a dimensionless quantity used to predict flow patterns in different fluid flow situations.
