(a) Pressure difference increases by a factor of 1.40.
_________ cm3/s
(b) A new fluid with 3.00 times greater viscosity is substituted.
__________ cm3/s
(c) The tube is replaced by one having 4.00 times the length.
___________ cm3/s
(d) Another tube is used with a radius 0.100 times the original.
__________ cm3/s
(e) Yet another tube is substituted with a radius 0.100 times the original and half the length, and the pressure difference is increased by a factor of 1.50.
