- You are help to educate a patient on the ramifications of a partial arterial blockage you have recently discovered. To communicate the severity, you decide to tell the patient about how much of the volume of blood that normally passes through the artery has decreased. The relationship you are describing is called AV Poiseuille's equation and it reads: ™R^ (P₁-P₂) 8nl If the At radius of the artery decreases by a factor of 2 because of the blockage (as shown in the image below), by what factor has the volume flow rate (A) decreased?

Salvage experts plan to recover the container by attaching a spherical balloon to the container and inflating it with air pumped down from the surface. The dimensions of the container are 5.00 m long, 2.35 m wide, and 3.20 m high. As the crew pumps air into the balloon, its spherical shape increases and when the radius is 1.10 m, the shipping container just begins to rise toward the surface. Determine the mass of the container. You may ignore the weight of the balloon and the air in the balloon. The density of seawater is 1027 kg/m³. 434.54 X How does the weight of the container compare to the weight of the water displaced by the container and balloon when the container starts to rise?
