The pressure difference needed to drink the milkshake through the straw in the specified time is approximately 18kPa
How to determine pressure difference needed?
Given the parameters:
(converted from cm to meters)




First, calculate the flow rate
of the milkshake:
![\[Q = (V)/(t) = \frac{0.48 * 10^(-3) \, \text{m³}}{120 \, \text{s}} = 4 * 10^(-6) \, \text{m³/s}\]](https://img.qammunity.org/2024/formulas/physics/high-school/vtwhlsbwpggyq6l2z7i8vlm46fubgnbjiw.png)
Now, calculate the pressure difference
using the Hagen-Poiseuille equation:
![\[\Delta P = (8 \cdot \eta \cdot L \cdot Q)/(\pi \cdot r^4)\]](https://img.qammunity.org/2024/formulas/physics/high-school/d7ahryxuuf3r5p09j5jsatfs9flk1qfq3l.png)
![\[\Delta P = \frac{8 * 0.5 \, \text{Pa.s} * 0.22 \, \text{m} * 4 * 10^(-6) \, \text{m³/s}}{\pi * (0.0056 \, \text{m})^4}\]](https://img.qammunity.org/2024/formulas/physics/high-school/j1q3bre7hjfrmh5i8l5663z3g0i04tp1c2.png)
Calculating this yields:
![\[\Delta P \approx 17917.67 \, \text{Pascal}\]](https://img.qammunity.org/2024/formulas/physics/high-school/z1c3yp8lzpbswdlhl7tnxrw7ekiqwwwx1k.png)
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the pressure difference needed to drink the milkshake through the straw in the specified time is approximately
