What value of glomerular capillary oncotic pressure would glomerular

Question

What value of glomerular capillary oncotic pressure would glomerular filtration stop? glomerular capillary = 47 mm hg hydrostatic pressure bowman's space = 10 mm hg hydrostatic pressure bowman's space = 0 mm hg oncotic pressure.
