2. (3 points total) A large artery in a person's body can be approximated by a tube of diameter 9 mm and length of 0.35 m. Also assume the blood has the viscosity of 4 x 10³ N.s/m², a specific gravity 1.0, and that pressure at the beginning of the artery is equivalent to 120 mm Hg. If the flow were steady(it is not) with V = 0.2 m/s, determine the pressure (in KPa) at the end of the artery if it is oriented: (a) Vertically up (flow up) (b) Horizontal
