FEV 1 (%) will decrease as the airway radius is decreased. FEV 1 (%) is the amount of air that can be expelled from the lungs in one second during forced expiration. If the airway becomes smaller, then the resistance to airflow will increase and FEV 1 (%) will become lower.

Reducing the radius of the airways will affect the capacity of the lungs to exhale the maximum amount of air


When the diameter of a sphere is decreased by 25 percent by what per cent does its curved surface area decrease?

Surface area, S.A., of a sphere with radius r equals to 4pir2.Since the diameter is decreased by 25%, the radius is also decreased by 25%.That is r - 0.25r = 0.75r.So that S.A. = 4pi(0.75r)2 = 2.25pir2
