Water flows steadily into a T-junction through a pipe of cross-sectional area

4.0\text{ cm}^2

at a speed of

3.0\,\text{m/s}

. The junction has two outlets with areas

1.5\text{ cm}^2

and

2.0\text{ cm}^2

. The speed in the first outlet is measured to be

6.5\,\text{m/s}

. Determine the speed of the water in the second outlet.
