Answer:
The flux (volume of water per unit time) through the hoop will also double.
Explanation:
The flux = volume of water per unit time = flow rate of water through the hoop.
The Flow rate of water through the hoop is proportional to the area of the hoop, and the velocity of the water through the hoop.
This means that
Flow rate = AV
where A is the area of the hoop
V is the velocity of the water through the hoop
This flow rate = volume of water per unit time = Δv/Δt =Q
From all the above statements, we can say
Q = AV
From the equation, if we double the area, and the velocity of the stream of water through the hoop does not change, then, the volume of water per unit time will also double or we can say increases by a factor of 2
