Question

Blood flows in an aorta of at a speed ( v_{1} ). Because of thickening of the arterial walls (arteriosclerosis), the aorta reduces its radius to one fourth of its initial value, what is the new speed ( v_{2} ) of the blood in the narrower region? Select one: ( v_{2}=8 v_{1} ) ( v_{2}=4 v_{1} ) ( v_{2}=16 v_{1} ) ( v_{2}=2 v_{1} )
