Question

Blood flows from a beaker through a 99x106(-6)m diameter glass capillary that is 0.1 cm long. The pressure difference across the capillary tube is maintained at 60 000 dynes/cm^2, and the effective viscosity of the flowing blood is 2.3 cP.

Also, I think the ratio H_R=(tube hematocrit)/(feed reservior hematocrit), where H_R is the relative hematocrit, may be helpful.

And flow rate, Q, is defined as:

Please help. Part (a) was no problem, but I'm having trouble understanding what to do here. Will give 5 stars for explanation!
