A viscous fluid flows in two different pipes. Pipe 1 has a radius r1, and Pipe 2 has a radius r2. If both pipes have the same length and r1 > r2, choose the correct statement about the pressure difference of the fluid in Pipe 1 and Pipe 2 The pressure difference of the fluid is the same in Pipe 1 and Pipe 2. The fluid in Pipe 1 has larger pressure difference. It cannot be determined in which pipe the fluid has larger pressure difference. The fluid in Pipe 2 has larger pressure difference.

A typical blood pressure is 120 mm Hg. How high above the injection site would you need to hang an IV bag so that the fluid enters the blood stream at this pressure? Assume the IV fluid has a density of 1000 kg/m3. Remember, 1 mm Hg = 133 Pa
A patient with asthma can experience a constriction of their airways. During a bronchospasm, their airway radius reduces from r=3mm to r=2.5 mm. What is the associated reduction in air flow rate if the change in pressure (ΔP) and length of the tube (L) are 125 Pa and 100mm respectively? Notes: apparent viscosity of air is 1.81x10^-5 Pa·s and flow rate (Q) is given by Poiseuille’s Law Q=(ΔPπr^4)/8ηL)
