Torricelli was the first do devise an experiment for measuring atmospheric pressure . He took calibrated hard glass tube , 1 m in lengt and of uniform cross section , closed at one end . He filled the whole tube with dry mercury taking care than no air or water droplets remain inside the tube , closed the opposite end of the tube tightly with thumb and inverted it . He put this inverted mercury tube into a mercury through , taking care that the end of the tube remains inside the mercury through , An interesting thing was noticed . Mercury in the tube fell down at first and then stopped at a particular position . The height was 76 cm above the free surface of mercury in the through . When the given tube was inclined or lowered in the mercury trough , the vertical haight of mercury level in the tube was always found constant . Torricelli explained this by saying that the free surface of mercury in the trough . Hence , the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the trough measures the atmospheric pressure . If this expriment uses water instead of mercury , then A. length of water will be equal to 76 cm B. length of water will be less than 76 cm C. length of water will be greater than 76 cm D. none of the above

The human ciculatory system can be thought of as a closed system of interconnecting pipes through which fluid is continuously circulated by two pumps the two pumps the right and left verticles of the heart, work as simple two-stroke force pumps. The muscles of the heart regulate the force by contracting and relaxing. the contraction (systole) lasts about 0.2s and a complete systole/diastole (contraction/relaxation) cycle lasts about 0.8s. For flood pressures and speeds in the normal range. the volume flow rate of blood through a blood vessel is directly proportional tot he pressure difference over a length of the vessel and to the fourth power of the radius of the vessel. The total mechanical energy per unit volume of blood just as it leaves the heart is E//V=rhogh+P+rhov^(2) Q. Why is diastolic blood pressure muchh lower than systolic pressure? A. because the heart exerts more force on the blood during diastole B. Because the heart exerts no force on the blood during diastole C. Because the radii of the blood vessels increase during diastole while the force exerted by the heart on the blood remains the same. D. Because the radii of the blood vessels increase during diastole while the force exerted by the heart on the blood remains the same.
