Question A person suffering from shortness of breath visits a doctor,
who discovers that blood flow in an artery (shown here) is
severely restricted, noting that the flow at position 2 in the
artery is three times faster than at position 1. (For the
purposes of this problem, assume human blood is an ideal
fluid.)
Based on the information given, comment qualitatively on
the diameter of this artery at position 2 relative to that at
position 1.

A The cross-sectional area (and therefore the diameter) at

position 2 must be much narrower than at position 1.
B The cross-sectional area (and therefore the diameter) at
position 2 must not be narrower than at position 1.
C The cross-sectional area (and therefore the diameter) at
position 2 must be equal to at position 1.
