The flow of blood in a large artery of an anesthetised dog is diverted through a venturimeter. The wider part of the meter has a cross-sectional area equal to that of the artery, i.e.,1.06×103 kg m−3The speed of the blood in the artery is
A
0.12 m s−1
B
0.62 m s−1
C
0.24 m s−1
D
0.42 m s−1
Answer
0.12 m s−1
Explanation
Solution
Here,
A=10 mm2,a=5 mm2,ρ=1.06×103kgm−3
Speed of the fluid through the wide neck is
