The aorta (the main blood vessel coming out of the heart) has a radius of about 1.0 cm and the total cross section of the major arteries is about 20 cm2. The density of blood is about the same as water, 1 g/cm3.

    Answer:

    a) 94.26 g/s

    b) 4.713 cm/s

    c) 2356.5 cm^2

    Explanation:

    a) velocity of blood through the aorta = 30 cm/s

    radius of aorta = 1 cm

    density of blood = 1 g/cm^3

    Area of the aorta = \pi r^{2} = 3.142 x 1^{2} = 3.142 cm^2

    Flow rate through the aorta Q = AV

    where A is the area of aorta

    V is the velocity of blood through the aorta

    Q = 3.142 x 30 = 94.26 cm^3/s

    Current of blood through aorta I = Qρ

    where ρ is the density of blood

    I = 94.26 x 1 = 94.26 g/s

    b) Velocity of blood in the major aorta = 30 cm/s

    Area of the aorta = 3.142 cm^2

    Velocity of blood in the major arteries = ?

    Area of major arteries = 20 cm^2

    From continuity equation

    A_{ao} V_{ao} = A_{ar} V_{ar}

    where

    V_{ao} = velocity of blood in the major arteries

    A_{ao} = Area of the aorta

    V_{ar} = velocity of blood in the major arteries

    A_{ar} = Area of major arteries

    substituting values, we have

    3.142 x 30 = 20V_{ar}

    94.26 = 20V_{ar}

    V_{ar}  = 94.26/20 = 4.713 cm/s

    c) From continuity equation

    A_{ar} V_{ar} = A_{c} V_{c}

    where

    A_{ar} = Area of major arteries = 20 cm/s

    V_{ar} = velocity of blood in the major arteries = 4.713 cm/s

    A_{c} = Area of the capillary system = ?

    V_{c} = velocity of blood in the capillary system = 0.04 cm/s

    substituting values, we have

    20 x 4.713 = A_{c}  x 0.04

    94.26 = 0.04A_{c}

    A_{c}  = 94.26/0.04 = 2356.5 cm^2
