When blood flows along a blood vessel, the flux F (the volume of blood per unit time that flows past a given point) is proportional to the fourth power of the radius R of the blood vessel. F: m\" (This is known as Poiseuille's Law; we will show why it is true in Section 8.4.) A partially clogged artery can be expanded by an operation called angioplasty, in which a balloon-tipped catheter is inflated inside the artery in order to widen it and restore the normal blood flow. Show that the relative change in F is about four times the relative change in R. F=kR4 :)dF= dR 2= dR F How will a 6% increase in the radius affect the flow of blood? A 6% increase in the radius corresponds to a/an \\:| % in blood flow
