A resident of a lunar colony needs to have her blood pressure checked in one of her legs. Assume that we express the systemic blood pressure as we do on earth and that the density of blood does not change. Suppose also that normal blood pressure on the moon is still 120/80 (which may not actually be true).

Required:
If a lunar colonizer has her blood pressure taken at a point on her ankle that is 1.5 m below her heart, what will be her systemic blood-pressure reading, expressed in the standard way, if she has normal blood pressure? The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.67 m/s^2

Answer:

The pressure is 2505 Pa.  

Explanation:

Height, h = 1.5 m

density of blood, d = 1000 kg/cubic meter

Gravity, g = 1.67 m/s^2

let the pressure is P.  

The pressure due to the fluid is given by

P = h d g

P = 1.5 x 1000 x 1.67

P = 2505 Pa
