Question: A circular artery has its diameter reduced to 0 . 8 7 0 times its original size. Find the percent increase in the pressure differential

A circular artery has its diameter reduced to 0.870 times its original size. Find the percent increase in the pressure differential required to maintain the original blood flow, Q (assume Poiseuille's Law applies to circulation in the blood vessels, i.e. the flow is laminar and the viscosity is independent of velocity and of the diameter of the artery). Enter the percentage as your answer, for example enter 78.6 for 78.6 percent.
