Assume the aorta with cross-sectional area of 2.0 cm^2 if the flow speed is 40 cm/s and the aorta branches to form a large number of capillaries with a combined cross-sectional area of 3.0 × 10^3 cm^2. What is the flow speed in the capillaries? (p of blood = 1.0 g/cm^3) O a. VCapillary= 0.27 mm/s O b. VCapillary= 100 mm/s O c. VCapillary= 80 mm/s O d. VCapillary= 40 mm/s Assume the aorta with cross-sectional area of 2.0 cm^2 if the flow speed is 40 cm/s and the aorta branches to form a large number of capillaries with a combined cross-sectional area of 3.0 × 10^3 cm^2.
