Using the following data, calculate the filtration coefficient for the capillary bed:
Plasma colloid osmotic pressure = 30 mm Hg
Capillary hydrostatic pressure = 40 mm Hg
Interstitial hydrostatic pressure = 5 mm Hg
Interstitial colloid osmotic pressure = 5 mm Hg
Filtration rate = 150 ml/min
Venous hydrostatic pressure = 10 mm Hg
