Question
Poiseuille's Law states that the resistance $R$ of blood flowing in a blood vessel of length $l$ and radius $r$ is given by$$R=f(l, r)=\frac{k l}{r^{4}}$$where $k$ is a constant that depends on the viscosity of blood. What is the resistance, in terms of $k,$ of blood flowing through an arteriole $4 \mathrm{cm}$ long and of radius $0.1 \mathrm{cm} ?$
Step 1
The length of the arteriole, \( l \), is given as \( 4 \, \text{cm} \), and the radius, \( r \), is given as \( 0.1 \, \text{cm} \). Show more…

Poiseuille's Law Poiseuille's Law states that the resistance R, measured in dynes, of blood flowing in a blood vessel of length l and radius r is given by R = f(l, r) = kl r4 where k is a constant that depends on the viscosity of blood. What is the resistance, in terms of k, of blood flowing through an arteriole 9 cm long and of radius 0.1 cm? R = k dynes
Poiseuille's Law states that the resistance R, measured in dynes, of blood flowing in a blood vessel of length l and radius r is given by R = f(l, r) = kl / r^4 where k is a constant that depends on the viscosity of blood.
