The flow of blood in a large artery of an anesthetised dog is diverted through a Venturi meter. The wider part of the meter has a cross-sectional area equal to that of the artery. A = 8 . The narrower part has an area a = 4 . The pressure drop in the artery is 24 Pa. What is the speed of the blood in the artery?
(Density of blood = )
1. 145 m/s
2. 0.145 m/s
3. 123 m/s
4. 0.123 m/s
A metal block of area is connected to a mass via a string that passes over an ideal pulley (considered massless and frictionless), as in the figure below. A liquid film with a thickness of is placed between the block and the table. When released the block moves to the right with a constant speed of The coefficient of viscosity of the liquid is:
1.
