Question: a ) Calculate the mass flow rate ( in grams per second ) of blood ( = 1 . 0 g / cm 3 )

a) Calculate the mass flow rate (in grams per second) of blood (=1.0 g/cm3) in an aorta with a cross-sectional area of 2.0 cm2 if the flow speed is 30 cm/s. g/s(b) Assume that the aorta branches to form a large number of capillaries with a combined cross-sectional area of 3.0103 cm2. What is the flow speed in the capillaries? cm/s
