equations that they could use to solve theproblems but were not told which equations to use and how to apply them.The first question involved applying the continuity equation to a water flow problem through apipe (Learning Objective #3). The actual exam question given was: Water flows from left to right in the pipe below. The velocity in the 1 m section of pipe is 1.4 m/s. Find the velocity in the 2 m section of pipe. Q 1 m diameter pipe 2 m diameter pipeThe students were asked to show all of their work as they completed the problem. The problemwas graded on an eight-point scale and the students could receive partial credit. After thestudents’ exams
