Question

the speed of blood in a major artery of diameter 1.0 cm is a 4.5 cm/s. what is the flow rate in the artery. if the capillary system has a total cross-sectional area of 2500 cm^2 the speed of blood in a major artery of diameter 1.0 cm is a 4.5 cm/s. what is the flow rate in the artery. if the capillary system has a total cross-sectional area of 2500 cm^2 the speed of blood in a major artery of diameter 1.0 cm is a 4.5 cm/s. what is the flow rate in the artery. if the capillary system has a total cross-sectional area of 2500 cm^2

Explanation / Answer

here,

d = 1 cm
r = d/2 = 0.5 cm
v = 4.5 cm/s

Assuming Artery is Fully Circular therefore Flow rate in artery is Given as

Q = Area * Velocity

Q = 3.14 * 0.5^2 * 4.5

Q = 3.53 cm^2/s
