An arterial constriction causes the radius of an artery to


An arterial constriction causes the radius of an artery to decrease from its normal value of 4mm to 2.5 mm. The average speed of the blood in the artery is Vo in the unrestricted segment, and V in the restricted segment. The flow rate through this artery is .753 liters/min.

1. Calculate the volume flow rate through the artery in M^3/s. Calculate Vo.

2. Calculate V, the average blood flow speed in constricted portion.

3. Use Bernoulli's equation to calculate the difference in pressure between the two ends of the segment of artery represented above.
