Question

Transcribed Image Text:As blood moves through a vein or an artery, its velocity v is greatest along the central axis and decreases as the distance
r from the central axis increases (see the figure). The formula that gives v as a function of r is called the law of laminar
flow. For an artery with radius 0.5 cm, the relationship between v (in cm/s) and r (in cm) is given by the function
v(r) = 18,500(0.25 – r2)
0<rs 0.5.
0.5 cm
(a) Find v(0.1) and v(0.4).
v(0.1) =
cm/s
%3D
v(0.4) =
cm/s
