Explain why fluids travel faster near the center of pipes and tubes than at the edges

I think fluids travel faster near the center of pipes and tubes better than at the edges because they are able to travel much faster, and smoother in the center rather than the edges because the fluids have to turn, which could cause the rest of the incoming fluids to stop, which would make it much slower when traveling through the edges than through the center. 

W= fd
where f is an applied force and d is the distance over which it is applied. when a parachuting skydiver is at constant velocity, he is experiencing "terminal velocity", the point at which his acceleration down is canceled out by air resistance. that means that the resisting force of the air is equal to his weight, but in the opposite direction. with this, we can solve for the work done by the force.
w = fd
w = (92.0)(9.81 m/s^2) (325)
w= 2.93 x 10^5 j
the value for work in this case is positive because it is pushing up on the skydiver, who has a downward force of gravity.
therefore the answer is 2.93 x 10^5 j
