Hi, i'll get straight to the point, I am studying for an exam and I came across this question which has me stumped:
"A pipe with diameter 4m is covered by 74mm of insulation, what is the approximate increase in the cross sectional area of the pipe?"
So far this is what i've came up with, (small change formula gives: dA ~ dy/dr x dr)
dy/dx = 2pi(2) and (dr = 2.37 - 2) <-- this is the radius when d=4.74, - the radius when d=4.
The answer is 3/4 m/s but I cannot seem to find the method used to obtain this answer, if anyone has a solution to this question i'd be so thankful as I cannot find any information on this!
