Systemic blood pressure is expressed as the ratio of the systolic pressure (when the heart first ejects blood into the arteries{max}) to the diastolic pressure (when the heart is relaxed{min}). Systemic pressure = Systolic pressure / diastolic pressure. Both pressures are measured at the level of the heart and are expressed in millimeters of mercury although the units are not written. Normal systemic blood pressure is 120/80. What are the maximum and minimum forces (in Newtons) that the blood exerts against each square centimeter of the heart for a person with high blood pressure, 145 / 85 ? Note: this is a conversion question...follow the units. Answer to 2 sig figs. (1.013 x 10^5 N/m^2 = 760 mmHg =1 atm) (1m = 100 cm) maximum force = {Systolic} minimum force = {Diastolic

A household hot-water system has an expansion tank in the attic, 12 meters above the boiler. If the tank is open to the atmosphere what is the gauge pressure and absolute pressure in the boiler? Hint: The gauge pressure in the formula to be used is P - Patm and the absolute pressure is P. For example if the gauge pressure of a tire is zero the tire is flat. A pressure called 1 atmosphere = 1.013×10⁵ Pa
An airplane passenger has a volume V1 of air in his stomach just before the plane takes off from a sea-level airport. What volume will this quantity of air have at cruising altitude at the same temprerature ( body temp. ), in terms of V1, the pressure on the ground P1, and the cabin pressure at cruising altitude P2? What is this volume, in cubic centimeters, if the initial volume is 110 cm^3 and the cabin pressure drops to 7.5x10^4 Pa when the plane is at cruising altitude?
