Question: Clogging an artery ( 2 p t ) . Suppose that blood flows through a large, unobstructed artery with a speed of 0 . 5

Clogging an artery (2pt). Suppose that blood flows through a large, unobstructed artery with a speed of 0.5ms. Assume the artery is horizontal. If part of the artery becomes obstructed, and the obstructed region has a radius 13 that of the unobstructed region, by how much does the blood pressure drop in the obstructed region? (The artery can deform or collapse if the pressure on the outside of the artery exceeds the pressure on the inside!)
