Suppose a blood vessel's radius is decreased to 87% of its original value by plaque deposits and the body compensates by increas
ing the pressure difference along the vessel to keep the flow rate constant.
By what factor must the pressure difference increase?
By what factor must the pressure difference increase?
1 answer:
Answer:
The pressure difference will increase by the factor of 1.75
Explanation:
For constant flow rate, coefficient of viscosity, length of the vessel and the pressure difference is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the radius of the blood vessel

Answer:
Explanation:
The electric flux through a certain surface is given by (for a uniform field):
where:
E is the magnitude of the electric field
A is the area of the surface
is the angle between the direction of the field and of the normal to the surface
In this problem, we have:
is the electric field
L = 2.0 m is the side of the sheet, so the area is
, since the electric field is perpendicular to the surface
Therefore, the electric flux is
