In an aorta aneurysm, a bulge forms where the walls of the aorta are weakened. If the blood flowing through the aorta (radius 1.0 cm) enters an aneurysm with a radius of 3.0 cm, how much on the average is blood pressure higher inside the aneurysm than the pressure in the unenlarged part of the aorta? The average flow rate through the aorta is 120 cm3/s. Assume the blood is non-viscous and density is 1060 kg/m3 and the patient is lying down so there is no change is height.
