Listed below are the hydrostatic and oncotic pressures within a microcirculatory bed:

Plasma colloid osmotic pressure = 25 mm Hg

Capillary hydrostatic pressure = 25 mm Hg

Venous hydrostatic pressure = 5 mm Hg

Arterial pressure = 80 mm Hg

Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure = −5 mm Hg

Interstitial colloid osmotic pressure = 10 mm Hg

Capillary filtration coefficient = 10 ml/min/mm Hg

What is the rate of net fluid movement across the capillary wall?
