5. A human being has an average venous blood pressure of 12 mm Hg (Hg = mercury). The density of Hg (mercury) is 13,530 kg/m3. How high does a saline bag have to be raised to just barely enable the flow (that is, the pressure of the saline at the needle is equal to that of the blood in the vein) of saline through a line and needle inserted into a person's vein? The density of saline is 1020 kg/m3.
