Problem 63E
Unclogging arteries The formula , discovered by the physiologist Jean Poiseuille (1797-1869), allows us to predict how much the radius of a partially clogged artery has to be expanded in order to restore normal blood flow. The formula says that the volume V of blood flowing through the artery in a unit of time at a fixed pressure is a constant k times the radius of the artery to the fourth power. How will a 10% increase in r affect V?

ANSWER:
Solution:
Step 1 of 2
In this problem, we have to find that the effect in volume if the radius is increased by .
The volume of the blood flowing through an artery is given by .
