In the tracheobronchial tree shown as below, each branch at generation 1 has an airway resistance (R1) of 5. Each branch at generation 1 further branches to two bronchi, becoming generation 2. Each branch at generation 2 has an airway resistance (R2) of 8. (To simplify, units and actual values are not included. Please use the given values for calculation.)
