Question: Problem 4 : An intravenous ( IV ) system is supplying saline solution to a patient at the rate of 0 . 1 2 0

Problem 4: An intravenous (IV) system is supplying saline solution to a patient at the
rate of 0.120cm3/s through a needle of radius 0.150 mm and length 2.50 cm. What
pressure is needed at the entrance of the needle to cause this flow, assuming the
viscosity of the saline solution to be the same as that of water? The gauge pressure of
the blood in the patients vein is 8.00 mm Hg.(Assume that the temperature is 20C .)
(2pt b) Calculate the new flow rate if the height of the saline solution is decreased to 1.50
m.(1pt)
