  3. You are asked to estimate the water flow rate in a pipe of radius 2m at a remote area location with a harsh environment. You already know that velocity varies along the radial location, but do not know how it varies. The flow rate,

Q 2 π rVdr .

To save money, you are allowed to put only two velocity probes (these probes send the velocity data to the central office in New York, NY via satellite) in the pipe. What radial locations would you suggest for the two velocity probes for the most accurate calculation of the flow rate? Radial location, r is measured from the center of the pipe, that is r=0 is the center of the pipe and r=2m is the pipe radius. Justify your answer.
