\rho _{w}=10^{3}kg/m^{3}

\eta =1\; mPa\; s

r=5\; cm

Rate of volume flow = A.V=\pi r^{2}.V=10^{2}\frac{lit}{min}

\Rightarrow \pi r^{2}.V=\frac{10^{2}\times10^{-3}}{60}=\frac{1}{600}\; m^{3}/s

V=(\frac{1}{600}\times \frac{1}{\pi \times25\times10^{-4}})

Re = Reynolds number =\frac{\rho .V.D}{\eta }

R_e=\frac{10^{3}\times(\frac{1}{600}\times\pi \times25\times10^{-4})\times(2\times5\times10^{-2})}{10^{-3}}

Re\approx 10^{4}
