The vein of healthy person is horizontal and its length is 0.04 m and has internal radius 1 mm. At 37^@ C, the average velocity of blood through the vein is 4 cm s^(-1). Find (a) the rate of flow of the blood (b) the velocity at the mid point of the vein and c) the decrease in pressure at the other end of the vein. Take eta_("blood") = 3.98 xx 10^(-1) P_a s)

1.	The vein of healthy person is horizontal and its length is 0.04 m and has internal radius 1 mm. At 37^@ C, the average velocity of blood through the vein is 4 cm s^(-1). Find (a) the rate of flow of the blood (b) the velocity at the mid point of the vein and c) the decrease in pressure at the other end of the vein. Take eta_("blood") = 3.98 xx 10^(-1) P_a s)
Answer» Solution :`1.25xx10^(-7) m^3 s^(-1) , (b) 0.08 MS^(-1) , (C) 50.9 P_a s `
