To calculate the hydrostatic difference in blood pressure between the brain and the foot of a person with a height of 1.50 m, we can use the formula for gauge pressure due to a fluid column: \[ \Delta P = \rho g h \] Where: - \(\Delta P\) is the pressure difference (in Pascals), ...

The blood speed in a normal segment of a horizontal artery is 0.11 m/s . An abnormal segment of the artery is narrowed down by plaque to one-fourth the normal cross-sectional area . What is the difference in blood pressure between the normal and constricted segments of the artery ? (Take density rho of blood as 1060 kg //m^(3) )

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 ]

Blood pressure in Argentinosaurus. (a) If this long-necked, gigantic sauropod had a head height of 18 m and a heart height of 8.0 m, what (hydrostatic) gauge pressure in its blood was required at the heart such that the blood pressure at the brain was 80 torr (just enough to perfuse the brain with blood)? Assume the blood had a density of 1.06 xx 10 kg//m^(3) . (b) What was the blood pressure (in torr or mm Hg) at the feet?

The average human heart forces four litre of blood per minute through arteries a pressure of 125 mm. If the density of blood is 1.03xx10^(3)kg//m^(3) then the power of heart is :

Giraffe bending to drink. In a giraffe with its head 1.8 m above its heart, and its heart 2.0 m above its feet, the (hydrostatic) gauge pressure in the blood at its heart is 250 torr. Assume that the giraffe stands upright and the blood density is 1.06 xx 10^(3) kg// m^(3) . In torr (or mm Hg), find the (gauge) blood pressure (a) at the brain (the pressure is enough to perfuse the brain with blood, to keep the giraffe from fainting) and (b) at the feet (the pressure must be countered by tight-fitting skin acting like a pressure stocking). (c) If the giraffe were to lower its head to drink from a pond without splaying its legs and moving slowly, what would be the increase in the blood pressure in the brain? (Such action would probably be lethal.)
