Problem 3: Average Flow Speed
It is possible to define an average flow velocity, < v >, for blood flow rate, Q, through a blood vessel of cross-sectional area A via Q =< v > A. The average speed of blood in the aorta is 0.3 m s1 and the radius of the aorta is 1 cm. There are about 2109 capillaries with an average radius of 6 m. What is the average speed of blood flow in a capillary
