Explanation / Answer

here,

diameter of Artericle , d1 = 0.08 mm = 8 * 10^-3 m

radius , r1 = d1/2 = 4 * 10^-3 m

rate of volume flow , V = 9.6 * 10^-5 cm^3/s

a)

let the speed of blood be v1

V = pi * r1^2 * v1

9.6 * 10^-5 = pi * ( 4 * 10^-3)^2 * v1

v1 = 1.91 cm/s

b)

diameter of capilary , d2 = 6 * 10^-6 m

radius , r2 = 3 * 10^-6 m

let the speed be v2

V = pi * r1^2 * v1

9.6 * 10^-5 = pi * ( 6 * 10^-6)^2 * v2

v2 = 8.5 * 10^5 cm/s
