(a) Determine the speed at which blood is flowing through an artery with a radius of 5.40 × 10-3 m, if the artery is supplying blood to the brain at a volume flow rate of 3.20 x 10-6 m3/s. See if you can write an expression which relates the volume flow rate of a fluid to the cross sectional area of the fluid conduit and the speed at which the fluid is traveling through the conduit. m/s (b) If the flow rate is to remain the same through a constriction that reduces the radius of the artery by a factor of 7, determine the speed at which blood must flow through the constricted region. See if you can use the equation of continuity to determine the speed at which blood is traveling through the constricted area. m/s
