Treat the blood as an incompressible


The aorta carries blood away from the heart at a speed of about 43 cm/s and has a radius of approximately 1.1 cm. The aorta branches eventually into a large number of tiny capillaries that distribute the blood to the various body organs. In a capillary, the blood speed is approximately 0.066 cm/s, and the radius is about 5.5 x 10-4 cm. Treat the blood as an incompressible fluid, and use these data to determine the approximate number of capillaries in the human body.
