Blood Speed in an Arteriole: A typical arteriole has a diameter of0.030 mm and carries blood at the rate of 5.5 x 10 ^ -6cm^3/s.

A.) What is the speed of the blood in an arteriole?

V= _ cm/s

B.) Suppose an arteriole branches into 340 capillaries, each with adiameter of 4.0 x 10 ^-6 m. What is the blood speed in thecapillaries? (The low speed in capillaries is beneficial; itpromotes the diffusion of materials to and from the blood.)

v = __ cm/s

1)As shown in the figure, a uniform conducting rod of length 0.40 m and mass 0.075 kg is in rotational equilibrium about the hinge at point O. A uniform magnetic field of 0.23 T is directed out of the plane of the page, perpendicular to the rod. Due to a battery and wires not shown, there is a current of 4.0 A in the rod directed toward point O. Determine the angle θ.

2)As shown in the figure, a conducting rod with a length of 0.79 m is placed on a horizontal frictionless surface and attached to a power supply by two springs, each with a spring constant of 81 N/m. The springs are initially at their equilibrium length and are in a region where there is a uniform magnetic field of 0.17 T that is perpendicular to the frictionless surface when the power supply supplies a current that causes the wire to move in such a direction that the two springs are stretched.
