(a) Find a formula for Poiseuille's Law, given that the rate of flow is proportional to the fourth power of the radius. (Use k for any constant of proportionality you may have in your equation.) (b) If R = 450 cm3 /s in a pipe of radius 5 cm for a certain gas, find a formula for the rate of flow of that gas through a pipe of radius r cm. cm3 /s (c) What is the rate of flow of the same gas through a pipe with a 6 cm radius? cm3 /s Note: You can earn partial credit on this problem.
