When a person inhales, air moves down the bronchus (windpipe) at 13.4 cm/s. The average flow speed of the air doubles through a constriction in the bronchus. Assuming incompressible flow, determine the pressure drop in the constriction. Neglect the change of pressure due to change in height ?y in the wind pipe. If the pressure goes down then the pressure drop is negative. Use 1.20 kg/m33 for the density of air.
