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
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
enable the flow (that is, the pressure of the saline at the needle

A classroom that normally contains 40 people is to be air-conditioned with window air-conditioning units of
5 KW cooling capacity. A person at rest may be assumed to dissipate heat at a rate of about 360 KJ/hr.
There are 10 light bulbs in the room, each with a rating of 100 watts. The rate of heat transfer to the
classroom through the walls and the windows is estimated to be 15,000 KJ/hr. If the room air is to be
maintained at a constant temperature of 21°C, determine the number of window air-conditioning units
required.
