Applying fluid dynamics: Putting it all together

Flutter in blood vessel A person has a 5200-N/m2 gauge pressure of blood flowing at 0.50 m/s inside a 1.0-cmradius main artery. The gauge pressure outside the artery is 3200 N-m2. When using his stethoscope, a physician hears a fluttering sound farther along the artery. The sound is a sign that the artery is vibrating open and closed, which indicates that there must be a constriction in the artery that has reduced its radius and subsequently reduced the internal blood pressure to less than the external 3200-N/m2 pressure. What is the maximum artery radius at this construction?
