The density of blood is 1055 kg/m3 . If the blood at the very top of your head exerts a minimum gauge pressure of 45 mm Hg (6000 Pa), estimate the gauge pressure at your heart in pascals.

Sagot :

Answer:

   P = 10135.6 Pa

Explanation:

For this exercise we use that the pressure varies with the height

           P = P₀ + ρ g h

where h is the height from the head to the heart, which is approximately

h = 40 cm = 0.40m  and P₀ is the head pressure P₀ = 6000 Pa

          P = 6000 + 1055 9.8 0.40

          P = 6000 + 4135.6

          P = 10135.6 Pa
