- Blood pressure is measured when the blood is pumping (systolic) and when the heart is resting (diastolic). When pressure readings are given, the systolic is given first, and healthy blood pressure is around 120 over 80 mm Hg. Recall the density of mercury is 13.6 × 103 kg/m3. a. Suppose you have a blood pressure reading of 116 over 82 mm Hg. What is your systolic pressure, in newtons per meter squared? b. Suppose you have a blood pressure reading of 116 over 82 mm Hg.

- The average body density of a human is 1030 kg/m3, yet we typically float in seawater when we fill our lungs with air and sink when we exhale. Therefore, our effective density is similar to that of seawater, 1010 kg/m3.
