In cardiovascular physiology the resistance R of a blood vessel of radius r and long L obeys the following equation R=8Ln/πr4 where the Greek letter eta represents the viscosity of the blood. Suppose that a certain arteriole reduces its resistance at the rate of –1,000mmHg ∙ min. ∙ L-1 per minute elapsed. At what rate does its radius increase the instant it has a magnitude of 150μm and the resistance R of the arteriole is 3 x 106mmHg ∙ min. ∙ L-1?

In cardiovascular physiology the resistance R of a blood vessel of radius r and long L obeys the following equation

R=8Ln/πr4

where the Greek letter eta represents the viscosity of the blood. Suppose that a certain arteriole reduces its resistance at the rate of –1,000mmHg ∙ min. ∙ L-1 per minute elapsed. At what rate does its radius increase the instant it has a magnitude of 150μm and the resistance R of the arteriole is 3 x 106mmHg ∙ min. ∙ L-1?
