Answer:

94.248 g/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

For solving the total current of the blood passing first we have to solve the cross sectional area which is given below:


A_1 = \pi R^2\\\\A_1 = \pi (1)^2\\\\A_1 = 3.1416 cm^2

And, the velocity of blood pumping is 30 cm^2

Now apply the following formula to solve the total current


Q = \rho A_1V_1\\\\Q = (1)(3.1416)(30)\\\\

Q = 94.248 g/sec

Basically we applied the above formula So, that the total current could come
