$(a)$ What is the largest average velocity of blood flow in an artery of diameter $2 \times 10^{-3} \;m$ if the flow must remain laminar?

$A$ capillary tube of length $l$ and radius $r$ is connected to the bottom of a container. When the pressure difference across it is $P$,the volume of water flowing out per second is $V$. If another capillary tube of the same length but half the radius is connected in series with the first one,what will be the new volume of liquid flowing out per second? (The total pressure difference across the system is $P$.)

Two capillary tubes of same radius $r$ but of lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$ are fitted in parallel to the bottom of a vessel. The pressure head is $P$. What should be the length of a single tube of the same radius $r$ that can replace the two tubes so that the rate of flow is same as before?
