The heart pumps blood into the aorta, which has an inner radius of about 1 cm. The aorta feeds 32 major arteries. If blood in the aorta travels at a speed of 28 cm/s, at approximately what average speed does it travel in the arteries? Assume that the arteries each have an inner radius of 0.21 cm and that the aorta and the arteries can be considered to be circular pipes.
I cant seem to get the right answer here.
Thank you so much!
