There is a steady laminar blood flow in a tapered cylindrical vessel of circular cross-section, as shown in the figure below. Two cross-sections, labeled A and B in the figure, have radii \(0.5\) centimeter (cm) and \(0.45\) cm, respectively. If the average flow speed of the blood at cross-section A is \(1\) cm/second, the average flow speed at cross-section B is
cm/second. (Round off to one decimal place).
Assume blood to be an incompressible fluid.
