Question

Calculate the flow rate of blood (of density 1.03 g/cm3) in an aorta with a cross-sectional area of 2.88 cm2
if the flow speed is 28.5 cm/s. Answer in units of g/s.

Answer 1

28.5 cm/s * 2.88 cm^2 = 82.1 cm^3/s volume flow rate

so mass flow rate is
82.1 cm^3/s * 1.03 g/cm^3 = 84.5 g/s

Answer 2

Thanks!
