    5 mm Hg

    Explanation:

    We have given that glomerular hydrostatic pressure = 55 mm Hg

    The capsular hudrostatic pressure = 15 mm Hg

    We have to find the net filtration pressure

    we know that

    Net filtration pressure (NFP) = glomerular blood hydrostatic pressure (GBHP) - [capsular hydrostatic pressure (CHP) + blood colloid osmotic pressure (BCOP) ]

    so using the above equation net filtration pressure is =

    55 - (35+15) = 5 mm Hg
