If plaque buildup reduces the radius of the artery by a factor of 2, by what factor does the flow rate change?

If plaque buildup reduces the radius of the artery by a factor of 2, the flow rate becomes 1/16th of the original.

Coronary heart disease results from a deposition of plaque in the blood vessels which transport blood to the heart. When the flow of blood to the heart is hampered or obstructed, the heart can be harmed due to a deficiency of oxygen.

Moreover, if a large section of plaque that is deposited gets displaced from an artery wall, it can get stick in other arteries in the body as well,  including those present in the brain.

For convenience, an assumption can be made that the artery is cylindrical in shape with a radius of R. The flow rate of a viscous fluid (blood in this case) is determined by Poiseuille's Law, i.e. Q = (π/8) (ΔP/ηl)r4.

How are clouds and fog related to precipitation?
Dominik [7]

Answer and Explanation:

Both clouds and fog are closely related to precipitation.

This can be explained first by the formation of clouds and fog, which begin when the air contains water vapor. This <u>water vapor is produced when there is an accumulation of moisture in the enviroment which leads to the formation of clouds. A similar process occurs with the formation of fog, which comes from saturation, that occurs after the evaporation and condensation processes that take place after precipitation (water cycle). </u>

Moreover, some types of clouds (cumulonimbus) are associated with precipitation as they could be accompanied by climatic phenomenon such as rain and snow.
