At a given instant, the blood pressure in the heart is 1.6 x 104 pa. if an artery in the brain is 0.51 m above the heart, what is the pressure in the artery? ignore any pressure changes due to blood flow.

Respuesta :

Pressure at one point P₁ = 1.6 x 10⁴ Pa

at a height h = 0.51 m

Pressure P₁ = P₂ + ρgh

ρ is density of blood

ρ = 1060 kg/m³

g = 9.81 m/s²

so P₂ = 1.6 x 10⁴ - (1060x9.81x0.51)

P₂ = 10697 Pa
