Blood flow. The cross-sectional area \( A_0 \) of the aorta (the major blood vessel emerging from the heart) of a normal person is \( 3 \text{ cm}^2 \) and the speed \( v_0 \) of the blood is \( 30 \text{ cm/s} \). A typical capillary (diameter \( \approx 6 \text{ \mu m} \)) has a cross-sectional area \( A \) of \( 3 \times 10^{-7} \text{ cm}^2 \) and a flow speed \( v \) of \( 0.05 \text{ cm/s} \). How many capillaries does such a person have?
