questions. Show your work. Question 1 A collapsible plastic bag as shown in the figure above contains a glucose solution. If the average gauge pressure in the vein is 1.33 x 10³ Pa, what must be the minimum heighth of the bag in order to infuse glucose into the vein? Assume the specific gravity of the solution is 1.02. Question 2 Glucose solution (a) Calculate the mass flow rate (in grams per second) of blood (p = 1.0 g/cm³) in an aorta with a cross-sectional area of 2.0 cm² if the flow speed is 40 cm/s. (b) Assume that the aorta branches to form a large number of capillaries with a combined cross-sectional area of 3.0 x 10³ cm². What is the flow speed in the capillaries?
