Smoking tobacco is bad for your circulatory health. in an attempt to maintain the blood's capacity to deliver oxygen, the body increases its red blood cell production, and this increases the viscosity of the blood. in addition, nicotine from tobacco causes arteries to constrict
for a nonsmoker, normal blood flow requires a pressure difference of 8.0 mmhg between the two ends of an artery. assume that smoking increases viscosity by 10% and reduces the arterial diameter to 90% of its previous value. for a smoker, what pressure difference is needed to maintain the same blood flow?
express your answer in millimeters of mercury.
i understand you are supposed to use poiseuille's equation, however this is all the information i am given to solve this problem, and i'm not quite sure how to get a numerical answer. can someone and explain the steps?

An alpha particle with kinetic energy 12.5 mev makes a collision with lead nucleus, but it is not "aimed" at the center of the lead nucleus, and has an initial nonzero angular momentum (with respect to the stationary lead nucleus) of magnitude l = p0 b, where p0 is the magnitude of the initial momentum of the alpha particle and b=1.40×10−12 m. (assume that the lead nucleus remains stationary and that it may be treated as a point charge. the atomic number of lead is 82. the alpha particle is a helium nucleus, with atomic number 2.) what is the distance of closest approach?
