The blood flow speed through an artery with a radius of 1.00 cm is 0.250 m/s. If hardening of the artery causes it to be restricted to a radius of 0.67 cm, what is the blood speed in the restricted artery? Express your answer in units of meters/second (m/s) but do not type units in your answer. For example, if your answer is 0.500 m/s, enter 0.500 as your answer.

If 50.00 mL of blood has a mass of 52.00 grams, what is its density? (Be sure to include units in your answer!). Is blood more or less dense than water? Since blood is mostly water, what components of blood do you think make it have a different density than water?
The main artery subdivides into 12 capillaries. The cross-sectional area of the main artery is 30 cm2 and the cross-sectional area of each of the capillaries is 6 cm2. The blood flow volume through the main artery and its capillaries is 12 ml/sec. Calculate the velocity of the blood flowing through the artery and the capillaries. (Please show all the steps in your calculation. You may draw a figure).
The volume flow rate in an artery that supplies blood to the brain is 3.5x10-6 m3/s.
