The pulmonary artery, which connects the heart to the lungs, is 8.5 cm long and has a pressure difference over this length of 450 Pa.
Part A. If the inside radius of the artery is 2.4 mm, what is the volume of blood that flows per second through the pulmonary artery?
Part B. If the radius of the artery is reduced by 14% , by what factor is the blood flow rate reduced? Assume that all other properties of the artery remain unchanged.
