A bug from South America known as Rhodnius prolixus extracts the blood of animals. Suppose Rhodnius prolixus

Question:

A bug from South America known as Rhodnius prolixus extracts the blood of animals. Suppose Rhodnius prolixus extracts 0.30 cm3 of blood in 25 min from a human arm through its feeding tube of length 0.20 mm and radius 5.0 μm. What is the absolute pressure at the bug's end of the feeding tube if the absolute pressure at the other end (in the human arm) is 105 kPa? Assume the viscosity of blood is 0.0013 Pa·s. [Negative absolute pressures are possible in liquids in very slender tubes.]
