1. Calculate the time rate of change in air density during expiration. Assume that the lung has a total volume of 6000mL, the diameter of the trachea is 18mm, the air flow velocity out of the trachea is 20cm/s and the density of air is 1.225kg/m³. Also assume that lung volume is decreasing at a rate of 100mL/s.
