A man of height 1.8 m is in a standing position . What is the difference in the blood pressure between th e blood in his feet and the topmost level of his head, if the density or blood is `1.06kg//m^3`
[Assume that the blood vessels in a human body act as extremely thin pipes and g =`10//s^2`]

A

12.8 kPa

B

15.8 kPa

C

19.8 kPa

D

23.8 kPa

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Difference in blood pressure `(/_\P)`
`=hrhog=1.8xx1.06xx10^3xx10`
`:." "/_\P=19.8xx10Pa=19.8kPa`
