What if one of these vessels changes its diameter?
-
Let's say it's this one
-
and let's say that it shrinks its diameter so this resistance goes up.
-
Goes up here from 5 units to 100 units,
-
so I made a big change in that,
-
goes up by a factor of 20 so that would be about a factor of two difference in radius,
-
because of the 4th-power.
-
If this one goes up to 100 now
-
there's more resistance through this particular vessel here
-
and the same resistance through these three,
-
so what happens?
-
Less flow goes through this vessel
