The average human ling takes in about 0.6 liter of air with each inhalation, through the mouth and nose, A. This lasts for about 1.5 seconds. Determine the power required to do this if it occurs through the trachea B having a cross-section area of 125 mm². Take air density equal to 1.23 kg/m^3. Hint: Recall that power is force times velocity, V, where F = pA.
