Use increments to make the required estimate.

BLOOD CIRCULATION In Exercise 57, Section 1.1, we introduced an important law attributed to the French physician, Jean Poiseuille. Another law discovered by Poiseuille says that the volume of the fluid flowing through a small tube in unit time under fixed pressure is given by the formula V = kR4, where k is a positive constant and R is the radius of the tube. This formula is used in medicine to determine how wide a clogged artery must be opened to restore a healthy flow of blood.

a. Suppose the radius of a certain artery is increased by 5%. Approximately what effect does this have on the volume of blood flowing through the artery?


b. Read an article on the cardiovascular system and write a paragraph on the flow of blood.*
