Poiseuilles law states that the flux of the blood
.
Where
is the radius of the blood vessel and
is constant.
Consider
.
Apply derivative on each side.
\
.
Relative error in flux
is
.
Substitute
and
in
.

Therefore, relative error in flux is about four times the relative error in radius
.
Percentage error in flux is
.
Here
is percentage error in radius
.
If there is 5% change in radius, then
.
Therefore,
.
Hence percentage error in flux is 20.
\Relative error in flux is about four times the relative error in radius
.
Percentage error in flux of the blood is 20.
