3. You've determined that a rare blood cancer drastically alters leukocyte (WBC) mechanical behavior. The viscoelastic behavior of these WBCs is appropriately modeled by a simple Newtonian liquid. You have a theory that these cells exhibit strain-rate sensitivity, which affects blood flow. You aspirate WBCs in a micropipette test using 2 different strain rats (10% and 50%). The data are shown below. Units are arbitrary and not needed to solve the problem. Provide an estimate of how much increasing strain rate from 10% to 50% affects cell viscosity Your answer should be a fold-increase or fold-decrease from the 10% level. 25 50% P -P 10% Lp

Explanation / Answer

a) let Lp be the X-axis

and the other as Y axis:

slope of 10% line=(2-0)/Lp=2/Lp

slope of 50% line =(25-0)/Lp=25/Lp

increase=(slope of 50%)/(slope of 10%)=(25/Lp)/(2/Lp)=25/2=12.5
