Assuming that the diameter of the normal artery is 2.87 mm, and taking the viscosity of blood as 4.0 cP, what is the change in pressure due to the viscous flow into the small portion of the artery? Note: A unit of measurement for viscosity equivalent to one-hundredth of a poise and symbolized by cP. Viscosity is the ratio of shear stress to shear rate, giving the traditional unit of dyn-s/cm2 for Poise. In metric (SI) units, one cP is one millipascal-second (mPa).

This is part B of the question, the answer for part A was 96.2pa.
