14.7 Exercise 32

Avg difficulty 2.5

A small artery has a length of 1.1×10−3m1.1 \times 10^{−3} \text{m} and a radius of 2.5×10−5m2.5 \times 10^{−5} \text{m}. If the pressure drop across the artery is 1.3 kPa, what is the flow rate through the artery? (Assume that the temperature is 37°C37 °\text{C}.)
