Question

If your nose is completely clogged and you try to blow it out, you are generating pressure from your lungs. a. The smaller your nasal passage, the less force the pressure from your lungs will exert on the clog. b. The smaller your nasal passage the more force your pressure will exert on the clog. c. The size of the nasal passage does not affect the force your lungs exert on the clog.

Answer 1

The correct answer is - option A. The smaller your nasal passage, the less force the pressure from your lungs will exert on the clog

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity depends on the area of the passage and directly affected by this as velocity is inversely proportional to the area of the passage, therefore, the lesser the nasal passage area higher will be the velocity.

v=Q/A

By this it is clear that the required pressure will be less and velocity will be more and less pressure generated from the lungs.

The correct answer is - option A.
