STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Head Loss due to Friction: 2.5 Meter --> 2.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Dynamic Viscosity: 10.2 Poise --> 1.02 Pascal Second (Check conversion here)
Length of Pipe: 0.1 Meter --> 0.1 Meter No Conversion Required
Specific Weight of Liquid: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Diameter of Pipe: 1.01 Meter --> 1.01 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_mean = h/((32*μ*L_p)/(γ_f*D_pipe^2)) --> 2.5/((32*1.02*0.1)/(9810*1.01^2))

Evaluating ... ...

V_mean = 7664.81387867647

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

7664.81387867647 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

7664.81387867647 ≈ 7664.814 Meter per Second <-- Mean Velocity
