Blood velocity: The flow of blood in a large artery of an anesthetised dog is diverted through a Venturi meter. The wider part of the meter has a cross-sectional area equal to that of the artery,$A = 8 \; mm^2$. The narrower part has an area $a = 4 \; mm^2$. The pressure drop in the artery is $24 \; Pa$. What is the speed (in $m/s$) of the blood in the artery?

  • A
    $0.657$
  • B
    $2.56$
  • C
    $0.123$
  • D
    $1.26$
