Question: Water at (10{ }^{circ} mathrm{C}) flows through a smooth (60-mathrm{mm})-diameter pipe with an average velocity of (8 mathrm{~m} / mathrm{s}). Would a layer of rust

Water at \(10{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) flows through a smooth \(60-\mathrm{mm}\)-diameter pipe with an average velocity of \(8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). Would a layer of rust of height \(0.005 \mathrm{~mm}\) on the pipe wall protrude through the viscous sublayer? Justify your answer with appropriate calculations.
