Question

The blood output from the human cardiac is about 5X 10-3 m3/minute and

radius of aorta is 10-

2 m. find the average velocity of flow in the aorta.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Rate of flow = Velocity × Area

• Rate of flow = 5 × 10-³ m³/ min
• Radius = 10-² m
• Area =

$5 \times {10}^{ - 3} = v \: \times \pi \: {( {10}^{ - 2} )}^{2}$

v = $5 \times {10}^{ - 3}/\pi \: {( {10}^{ - 2} )}^{2}$

v = $5 \times {10}^{ - 3}/ 3.14× {( {10}^{ - 2} )}^{2}$

v = 15.9 m/min
