QUESTION:
(a) Find the volume of blood that flows per second through the pulmonary artery described in Example 15–10. (b) If the radius of the artery is reduced by 18%, by what factor is the blood flow rate reduced? Assume that all other properties of the artery remain unchanged.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
Blood flows through the pulmonary artery as shown in the diagram.
We wish to calculate the volume of blood that passes through the artery every second and the decrease in flow rate if the radius were reduced by .. To calculate the reduction in flow rate, set the new radius and solve for the ratio of flow rates.
Given values
