Suppose that blood flows through the aorta with a speed of0.46 m/s. The cross-sectional area ofthe aorta is 1.8 multiplied by 10-4 m2.
(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 2.18 m2. What is the average bloodspeed through them?
m/s
