Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
In laminar flow, the fluid particles move in parallel layers with minimal mixing. The velocity profile is characterized by a parabolic shape.
Step 1: Analyze the velocity profile. At the boundary (walls of the tube), due to the no-slip condition, the fluid in contact with the wall has zero velocity.
Step 2: Therefore, the velocity of the liquid in contact with the walls of the tube is zero.
Hence, the correct answer is A.
