Suppose that blood flows through the aorta with a speed of0.28 m/s. The cross-sectional area of the aorta is 1.2 10-4m2.
(a) Find the volume flow rate of the blood.
m3/s
(b) The aorta branches into tens of thousands of capillaries whosetotal cross-sectional area is about 2.90 m2. What is theaverage blood\ speed through them?
