Consider a vertical section of artery that tapers as it descends. At the entrance (top) of the artery, the diameter is 15 mm. At the exit (bottom) of the artery, the diameter is 6 mm. There is a 10 cm height difference between the entrance and exit of the artery. The velocity at the top of the artery is 20 cm/s. a.) Starting with the form below, simplify the conservation of mass equation for this scenario. Explain any simplifications that you make. b.) Solve the conservation of mass equation you derived in part a to determine the velocity at the exit (bottom) of the section of artery described above
