A steady flow rate is checked as area multiplied by speed. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

Flow rate is area times speed

Area 2 square metres and speed 3 metres per second give flow 6 cubic metres per second.

Flow rate ledgerThe area, speed, and flow labels are checked.A1=2 m^2v1=3 m/sA2=3 m^2v2=2 m/sQ=6 m^3/s

The flow label is source-bound

The flow value 6 comes from the displayed area and speed sources.
