document.write( "Question 1129716: The pulmonary artery, which pumps blood from the heart to the lungs, has an inner radius of 1.34 mm and is 5.0 cm long. If the pressure drop between the heart and lungs is 420.0 Pa, what is the volume flow rate of blood in the pulmonary artery? Give your answer in cm3/s. The viscosity of blood at 37°C is 2.1 x 10-3 Pa s. \n" ); document.write( "
