Question: ( a ) The volume flow rate in an artery supplying the brain is 3 . 6 x 1 0 ^ - 6 m ^

(a) The volume flow rate in an artery supplying the brain is 3.6 x 10^-6 m^3/s. If the radius of the artery is 5.1 mm, determine the average blood speed. (b) Find the average blood speed as a constriction in the artery if the constriction reduces the radius by a factor of 3. Assume that the volume flow rate is the same as that in part (a).
