Following the sequence of questions, the competition between the teams became increasingly intense. De La Salle University managed to answer the second question faster than the others, while the University of the Philippines took the lead on the third question. This pattern of exchanging leads continued, resulting in a three-way tie, with each team securing three points apiece.
"Okay…we have an intense fight going on here," Sofia chuckled. "Now, for the last question that will determine the winner of this quiz competition. This question will test your understanding of fluid dynamics as well as your ability to apply mathematical principles to solve engineering problems. Here it is. Calculate the Reynolds number for water flowing in a pipe with a diameter of 0.5 meters at a velocity of 2 meters per second. Assume the dynamic viscosity of water is 1 x 10^-3 Pa·s and the density is 1000 kg/m^3. Is the flow laminar or turbulent?"
