But for Laminar flow, it should be inversely proportional to D^4.

As oil is flowing so we should use the laminar flow equation.

And the answer should be 16 h.

Oil is flowing. So it should be a laminar flow.

And h should be inversely proportional to D ^4.

So the answer should be 16.

h = flQ^2/12d^5,
2^5 = 32h.
