An artery that has been exposed to a lifetime of unhealthy food is slowly building up atheroscleroti

a) The thickness of the plaque to change the velocity of blood flowing through the vessel could not be calculated because blood pressure is also required in the equation.

b) The value of T in this question is vague.

Atherosclerosis is a disease in which plaque such as fat, cholesterol, and calcium builds up inside arteries. It leads to problems such as heart attack, stroke, and vascular disease. Plaque ruptures by hardening and narrowing arteries. This limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your organs and other parts of your body. It blocks the blood's flow in the heart, arms, brain, pelvis, legs, or kidneys.



A) Normal artery with normal blood flow.
B) An artery with plaque formation.

The progression rate in an artery is lower with a higher velocity flow rate and higher with a smaller value of the blood viscosity. The plaque growth depends on the inlet velocity flow rate at a slower rate.

In this problem the pressure is very important parameter in addition to that viscosity of blood if these parameters are given we can calculate the how thickness of the plague can affect velocity of blood. Poisulle's viscosity formula would be used to calculate the same.

I think habiba is on to something. I have made a rough calculation, but I'm not sure it's right...
