You're examining a large pipe that has a circular cross-section with a radius of 2.5 meters. The pipe
is uniform, and doesn't allow the water that flows through it to pool or collect anywhere (that is, the
water flows uniformly and edge effects of the flow can be ignored). If the water has a density of 1000
kg/m^3 and flows at a constant speed of 4 m/s, what is the mass flow rate of the water inside the
pipe?

exit is 4 m/s. What is the density of the water at the exit state?
