part one
The diameter of a blood vessel narrows by 70% due to the
presence of a plaque on the blood vessel walls. By what factor does the blood velocity increase (compared to the intitial)?
part two
The diameter of a blood vessel narrows by 70% due to the
presence of a plaque on the blood vessel walls. If the blood velocity in a normal blood vessel is 0.15 m s−1
and the systolic blood pressure is 130 mmHg, what is the systolic blood pressure in the narrowed vein (in mmHg)?
Note: 1 mmHg = 133.32 Pa

**bonus points if you answer this other question**(not required)
A small plastic pipe carries water horizontally at a speed of
10 m s−1. A section of the pipe bulges out so that the radius is twice
that of the rest of the pipe. If the gauge pressure in the pipe is ordi-
narily+90 kPa what is the gauge pressure in the bulge (in kPa) (the density of water is 1000 kg m−3)? Give your answer in kPa.
