4. (10 pts) An ascidian (sea squirt, phylum Urochordata), Styela montereyensis, bends over in currents so that its input aperture is directed upstream (see figure below or in textbook, pg 118). A current of 0.2 ms doubles the flow through the animal compared to its pumping rate in still water. If the still water pumping rate is 10 cm's, what is the internal resistance (resistance pressure drop divided by volume flow rate) of the animal? Assume that the ambient currents have n effect on the output aperture
