You inflate the front tires on your car to 28 psi. Later,you measure your blood pressure, obtaining a reading of 120/80, the readings being in mm Hg. In metric countries (which is to say, most of the world), these pressures are customarily reported in kilopascals (kPa). In kilopascals, what are (a) your tire pressure and (b) your blood pressure?
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
