When an object moves through a fluid, as when a ball falls through air or a glass sphere falls through water te fluid exerts a viscous foce F on the object this force tends to slow the object for a small sphere of radius `r` moving is given by stoke's law, `F_(w)=6pietarv`. in this formula `eta` in the coefficient of viscosity of the fluid which is the proportionality constant that determines how much tangential force is required to move a fluid layer at a constant speed v, when the layer has an area A and is located a perpendicular distance z from and immobile surface. the magnitude of the force is given by `F=etaAv//z`. For a viscous fluid to move from location 2 to location 1 along 2 must exceed that at location 1, poiseuilles's law given the volumes flow rate Q that results from such a pressure difference `P_(2)-P_(1)`. The flow rate of expressed by the formula `Q=(piR^(4)(P_(2)-P_(1)))/(8etaL)` poiseuille's law remains valid as long as the fluid flow is laminar. For a sfficiently high speed however the flow becomes turbulent flow is laminar as long as the reynolds number is less than approximately 2000. This number is given by the formula `R_(e)=(2overline(v)rhoR)/(eta)` In which `overline(v)` is the average speed `rho` is the density `eta` is the coefficient of viscosity of the fluid and R is the radius of the pipe. Take the density of water to be `rho=1000kg//m^(3)`

The correct Answer is:
To find the viscosity coefficient of blood, we will use Poiseuille's law, which relates the flow rate \( Q \) of a fluid through a cylindrical vessel to the pressure difference \( P_2 - P_1 \), the radius \( R \) of the vessel, the length \( L \) of the vessel, and the viscosity \( \eta \) of the fluid. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Formula**: The formula for the flow rate \( Q \) is given by: \[ Q = \frac{\pi R^4 (P_2 - P_1)}{8 \eta L} \] We need to rearrange this formula to solve for the viscosity \( \eta \). 2. **Rearranging the Formula**: Rearranging the formula to isolate \( \eta \): \[ \eta = \frac{\pi R^4 (P_2 - P_1)}{8 Q L} \] 3. **Substituting the Given Values**: We have the following values from the problem: - Length of the blood vessel \( L = 0.10 \, \text{m} \) - Radius of the blood vessel \( R = 1.5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) - Flow rate \( Q = 10^{-7} \, \text{m}^3/\text{s} \) - Pressure difference \( P_2 - P_1 = 20 \, \text{Pa} \) Now, substituting these values into the rearranged formula: \[ \eta = \frac{\pi (1.5 \times 10^{-3})^4 (20)}{8 (10^{-7}) (0.10)} \] 4. **Calculating \( R^4 \)**: First, calculate \( (1.5 \times 10^{-3})^4 \): \[ (1.5 \times 10^{-3})^4 = 5.0625 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{m}^4 \] 5. **Calculating the Numerator**: Now calculate the numerator: \[ \text{Numerator} = \pi (5.0625 \times 10^{-12}) (20) \approx 3.14 \times 5.0625 \times 10^{-12} \times 20 \approx 3.14 \times 1.0125 \times 10^{-10} \approx 3.18 \times 10^{-10} \] 6. **Calculating the Denominator**: Now calculate the denominator: \[ \text{Denominator} = 8 (10^{-7}) (0.10) = 8 \times 10^{-8} \] 7. **Final Calculation**: Now, divide the numerator by the denominator to find \( \eta \): \[ \eta = \frac{3.18 \times 10^{-10}}{8 \times 10^{-8}} = \frac{3.18}{8} \times 10^{-2} = 0.3975 \times 10^{-2} \approx 3.975 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{Pa.s} \] 8. **Rounding Off**: Rounding off gives us: \[ \eta \approx 4 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{Pa.s} \] ### Final Answer: The viscosity coefficient of blood is approximately \( 4 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{Pa.s} \).
