Question

the approximate number of blood cells B passing through an animal's major artery each millisecond is given by B=17m^((4)/(3))where m is animal's mass in kilograms. Find the number of blood cells passing through a 243 kg bear's major artery each millisecond

Answer 1

Given:

The approximate number of blood cells B passing through an animal's major artery each millisecond is given by

$B=17m^{\frac{4}{3}}$

Where, m is animal's mass in kilograms.

To find:

The number of blood cells passing through a 243 kg bear's major artery each millisecond.

Solution:

We have,

$B=17m^{\frac{4}{3}}$

Putting m=243, we get

$B=17(243)^{\frac{4}{3}}$

$B=17(1516.381107)$

$B=25778.4788191$

$B\approx 25778$

Therefore, the number of blood cells passing through a 243 kg bear's major artery each millisecond is approximately 25,778.
