Two cylindrical venous capillary vessels join to form a larger cylindrical venule to return blood to the heart. The first vessel has a diameter of 0.0006 cm, an average blood flow velocity of 0.07 cm/s, and a hematocrit of 0.43. [Hematocrit is the ratio of the volume of packed red blood cells (RBC) to the volume of the whole blood.] The second vessel has a diameter of 0.0007 cm, an average blood flow velocity of 0.08 cm/s, and a hematocrit of 0.46. The diameter of the collecting vessel is 0.0008 cm. Find the hematocrit of the collecting vessel.
