A garden hose \(30.0 \mathrm{~m}\) long and \(40.0 \mathrm{~mm}\) in diameter attached to a faucet carries water that enters the hose at \(2.00 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). The hose was previously cut at its center and has been repaired by splicing a length of hose that is \(5.00 \mathrm{~m}\) long and \(30.0 \mathrm{~mm}\) in diameter into the break (Figure P18.31).

(a) What is the water speed in the small middle section of the repaired hose?

(b) How long does the water take to flow the length of the repaired hose?
