Consider an aorta that has a circular cross section with a diameter of 5mm and a length of 10cm. Assume that the density of blood is 1.06 gm/cm3. Cardiovascular effort/flow units are effort (mmHg) and flow (ml/s).
A. What are the cardiovascular units for inertance? Show your work.
B. What is the inertance of blood in the given aorta in cardiovascular units?
C. If the flow through the aorta is 15 ml/s, what is the hydraulic momentum of the blood flow (give in cardiovascular units).
