On an average a human heart is found to beat 75 times in a minute. Calculate its beat frequency and period.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Beat frequency of the heart is
`v = ("Number of beats")/("Time") = (75)/(1 min) = (75)/(60 s)`
` = 1.25s^(-1) or 1.25Hz`
Time period, `T = (1)/(V) = (1)/(1.25s^(-1)) = 0.8` s
