**Problem Statement on Blood Distribution in Human Body**The aorta carries blood away from the heart and eventually branches into a large number of capillaries that distribute the blood to various body organs. If for an average person, the aorta has a radius of 1.2 cm and blood travels through it at a speed of 45 cm/s, and the capillaries have an average radius of 5.0 x 10^-4 cm and blood travels through them at a speed of 0.005 cm/s, determine the approximate number of capillaries in the human body.**Answer Box:**[________] capillaries**Explanation:**This problem involves understanding blood flow dynamics through different parts of the circulatory system. The aorta, being the primary artery from the heart, branches into numerous capillaries. Here are the specific details provided:- **Aorta**: - Radius: 1.2 cm - Blood speed: 45 cm/s- **Capillaries**: - Average radius: 5.0 x 10^-4 cm - Blood speed: 0.005 cm/sUsing these values, we'll apply the principle of conservation of mass (continuity equation) to determine the approximate number of capillaries in the body.

The approximate number of capillaries in the human body is 5.19 × 1010 capillaries.

There are three cylindrical vases on the table, none of them is taller than 40 cm. The firstvase can be filled with 2 dl of water, the second one with 3 dl, and the third with more than 6 dl water. The area of the cross section of the first vase is 10 cm^2, the area of the cross section of the other two vases is 20 cm^2. There is the same amount (volume) of water in each vase. It can be observed that if a specific tuning fork is placed just above the vases, its sound is getting louder. The width of the bottom of each vase is 1 cm, the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, and the frequency of the tuning fork is less than 1 kHz. a) What is the volume of water in the vases? b) What is the frequency of the tuning fork? c) What is the height of the third vase?
You have been given a small rock sample to identify based on its density. Suppose that you use the displacement method to determine the volume of the rock sample to be 95 cm³ . The mass of the sample is 285 g. Which of the following is the most likely composition of this sample? Granite: density = 2650 kg/m³ O Limestone: density = 1978 kg/m³ Iron-Nickel Alloy: density = 9900 kg/m³ Basalt: density = 3000 kg/m³ Granite: density = 2150 kg/m³ Peridotite: density = 3300 kg/m3
You want to calculate the volume of air that occupies a standard volleyball. You measure the diameter of the balloon with a ruler graduated to the millimeter. The measurement is rather difficult to take, but you trust that the correct measurement is somewhere between 20.8 cm and 20.9 cm. Calculate the volume of air inside the balloon as well as the uncertainty of this value and give the answer in cm^3.
According to Poiseulle's law, the speed of blood S in cm/sec located r centimeters from the central axis of an artery is S(r ) = C(R2 - r2), where C is a constant and R > 0 is the radius of the artery. (a) What is the domain of this function?

the average density of an atom is approximately 103 kg/m3. The nucleus of an atom has a radius about 10-5 times that of the entire atom, and contains nearly all the mass of the atom. What is the approximate density, in kilograms per cubic meter, of a nucleus?
Two cylindrical cross section water tanks are arranged so that the outflow from tank 1 falls into tank 2. The outflow from tank 2 flows to the drain. ģ is the volumetric flow rate out of a tank, and h is the height of the water in a tank. (a) State the fundamental physical law, and provide the general equation for a tank used to model the time history of the tank levels, h, and hz. Your equation should contain the following terms: A (eross sectional area of a water tank), p (density of water), and h (rate of change of the height of the water in a tank) (b) Both outflows have the characteristic volumetric flow rate being directly proportional to the head in the tank. ie. ġ1 = a, h, and q2 = azh2. Show that the differential equation governing the head in tank 2 has the form of : h, + ah, = be" Time, t, is the independent variable. Take the initial values of the heads to be A h(0) = H, and h,(0)= H,. Determine a, b and c. (Note: There is no d, or hi in the equation governing tank 2. You…
