Coronary heart disease is caused by a buildup of plaque in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. when the flow of blood to the heart is restricted or blocked, the heart can be damaged due to a lack of oxygen. further, if a large piece of plaque buildup gets dislodged from an artery wall, it can get stuck in other arteries throughout the body, including arteries in the brain. for simplicity, let's assume that the artery is cylindrical with a radius of r. the flow rate of a viscous fluid is given by poiseuille's law q=(π/8)(δp/ηl)r4.
1.) if plaque buildup reduces the radius of the artery by a factor of 2, by what factor does the flow rate change?
a.) the rate is 4 times the original.
b.) the flow rate is 1/4th of the original.
c.) the flow rate is 16 times the original.
d.)the flow rate is now 1/16th of the original.
2.) if the plaque buildup (modeled as a cylinder as well) completely blocks the artery, a pressure difference of pbetween each side of the clot builds up. what is the force on the clot?
a.) 2pπr
b.) 2pπr2
c.) pπr2
d.) p
3.) if the clot breaks free and only experiences a force due to the blood pressure, what is the relationship between the pressure on each side of the clot as it moves with a constant velocity toward the heart?
a.) the pressure on the side closest to the heart is higher because the clot is moving toward the heart.
b.) the pressure on each side is the same.
c.) there is a pressure differential in order to keep the clot moving.
d.) the pressure on the side furthest from the heart is higher because the clot is moving toward the heart.

Asmall object with mass 0.200 kg swings back and forth on the lower end of a light rope that is 3.00 m long. the upper end of the rope is attached to the ceiling. as the object swings through its lowest position, where the rope is vertical, the speed of the object is 5.80 m/s. at this point in the motion, what is the tension in the rope? (use g = 9.80 m/s2.)
