An artery of inner radius 0.150 cm branches (in accordance with Murray's Law) into three smaller arteries each having the same diameter. If blood with a viscosity of 3.50 x 10-3 Pa.s flows through these vessels, calculate:       the radii of the three smaller vessels     the resistance to flow per cm of the larger vessel     the resistance to flow per cm of each of the smaller vessels

An artery of inner radius 0.150 cm branches (in accordance with Murray's Law) into three smaller arteries each having the same diameter. If blood with a viscosity of 3.50 x 10-3 Pa.s flows through these vessels, calculate:

 

    the radii of the three smaller vessels

    the resistance to flow per cm of the larger vessel

    the resistance to flow per cm of each of the smaller vessels

    the equivalent resistance to flow per cm of length of the three smaller vessels if they are connected in parallel
