could someone clearly explain to me about Poiseuille's Law of fluid flow through a pipe?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Flow of a fluid through a pipe Poiseuille's Law In trying to find out what factors control how fast fluids can flow through pipes, the following factors are easy to isolate: The pressure difference between the ends of the pipe. The bigger the pressure difference, the faster will be the flow. The length of the pipe. More liquid will flow through a shorter than a longer pipe in the same time. The radius of the pipe. More liquid will flow through a wide than a narrow pipe in the same time. This dependence is very marked. The coefficient of viscosity of the liquid. Water flows much more easily than glycerine. Q = dV/dt = (∆p π R^4)/8ηL
