    Blood is flowing at the rate of 200 \[c{{m}^{3}}{{s}^{-1}}\] in a capillary of cross-sectional area 0.5 m. The velocity of flow (in mm\[{{s}^{-1}}\]) is

    A)  0.1                                        

    B)  0.2

    C)  0.3                                        

    D)  0.4

    E)  0.5

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    From the equation of continuity, we have Av = rate of flow (R) Given,   \[R=200\,c{{m}^{3}}{{s}^{-1}},\]\[A=0.5\,{{m}^{2}}\]     \[=0.5\times {{({{10}^{-3}})}^{2}}mm\] and        \[R=200\times {{(10)}^{3}}mm{{s}^{-1}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[v=\frac{200\times {{(10)}^{2}}}{0.5\times {{10}^{-6}}}\] \[=400\times {{10}^{-6}}\times {{10}^{3}}\] \[=0.4\,mm\,{{s}^{-1}}\]
