Question 5 Two arteries of equal length are being compared, one diseased and one healthy. Blockages in the diseased artery has reduced its cross-sectional area to 70% of the healthy artery's. The pressure difference across the diseased artery is 1.3 times greater than the healthy artery. a) Comparing the diseased artery to the healthy one, what is the ratio of the volume flow rates of the two blood vessels? b) Using your answer from part (a), what is the ratio of the speed of the blood in the diseased blood vessel to the healthy blood vessel?
