Blood pressure is usually measured by wrapping a closed air-filled jacket equipped with a pressure gage around the upper arm of

a person at the level of the heart. Using a mercury manometer and a stethoscope, the systolic pressure (the maximum pressure when the heart is pumping) and the diastolic pressure (the minimum pressure when the heart is resting) are measured in mmHg. The systolic and diastolic pressures of a healthy person are about 120 mmHg and 80 mmHg, respectively, and are indicated as 120/80. Express both of these gage pressures in kPa, psi, and meter water column.
Take the densities of water and mercury as 1000 kg/m3 and 13,600 kg/m3, respectively.
The high and low pressures, in kPa, are kPa and kPa, respectively.
The high and low pressures, in psi, are psi and psi, respectively.
The high and low pressures, in meter water column, are m and m, respectively.

Answer:

a) High and low pressures are 15.999 kilopascals and 10.666 kilopascals, respectively.

b) High and low pressures are 2.320 pounds per square inch and 1.547 pounds persquare inch, respectively.

c) High and low pressures are 1.632 meters water column and 1.088 meters water column, respectively.

Explanation:

a) <em>High and low pressures in kilopascals</em>:

101.325 kPa equals 760 mm Hg, then, we can obtain the values by a single conversion:

p_{high} = 120\,mm\,Hg\times \frac{101.325\,kPa}{760\,mm\,Hg}

p_{high} = 15.999\,kPa

p_{low} = 80\,mm\,Hg\times \frac{101.325\,kPa}{760\,mm\,Hg}

p_{low} = 10.666\,kPa

High and low pressures are 15.999 kilopascals and 10.666 kilopascals, respectively.

b) <em>High and low pressures in pounds per square inch</em>:

14.696 psi equals 760 mm Hg, then, we can obtain the values by a single conversion:

p_{high} = 120\,mm\,Hg\times \frac{14.696\,psi}{760\,mm\,Hg}

p_{high} = 2.320\,psi

p_{low} = 80\,mm\,Hg\times\frac{14.696\,psi}{760\,mm\,Hg}

p_{low} = 1.547\,psi

High and low pressures are 2.320 pounds per square inch and 1.547 pounds persquare inch, respectively.

c) <em>High and low pressures in meter water column in meters water column</em>:

We can calculate the equivalent water column of a mercury column by the following relation:

\frac{h_{w}}{h_{Hg}} = \frac{\rho_{Hg}}{\rho_{w}}

h_{w} = \frac{\rho_{Hg}}{\rho_{w}}\times h_{Hg} (Eq. 1)

Where:

\rho_{w}, \rho_{Hg} - Densities of water and mercury, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

h_{w}, h_{Hg} - Heights of water and mercury columns, measured in meters.

If we know that \rho_{w} = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}, \rho_{Hg} = 13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}, h_{Hg, high} = 0.120\,m and h_{Hg, low} = 0.080\,m, then we get that:

h_{w, high} = \frac{13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} }{1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} } \times 0.120\,m

h_{w, high} = 1.632\,m

h_{w, low} = \frac{13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} }{1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} } \times 0.080\,m

h_{w, low} = 1.088\,m

High and low pressures are 1.632 meters water column and 1.088 meters water column, respectively.

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

% reduction in area = 54.26 %

percentage elongation = 43.16 %

Explanation:

a) percentage reduction in area = \frac{(A_1 - A_2)}{A_1 } * 100

A_1  =\pi r^2 = \pi * 5.88^2=108.8 mm2

A_2=\pi * 3.98^2= 49.97 mm2

% reduction in area =\frac{(108.8 - 49.97)}{108.8} * 100 = 54.26 %

b)percentage elongation = \frac{(66 - 46.1)}{46.1} *100 = 43.16 %

HELP ASAP <br> Describe when contact metamorphism occurs?
diamong [38]

Contact metamorphism occurs adjacent to igneous intrusions and results from high temperatures associated with the igneous intrusion. Since only a small area surrounding the intrusion is heated by the magma, metamorphism is restricted to the zone surrounding the intrusion, called a metamorphic or contact aureole

12. The answer would be C. 1.50 s. This is because if you divide 60 by 40, you will get 1.5.

13. For this one I'm not sure, but what I can tell you is that the heavier something is the faster it will sink, the lighter it is, it will float.

saw5 [17]

Answer:

a) 5.63 atm

Explanation:

We can use combined gas law

<em>The combined gas law</em> combines the three gas laws:

  • Boyle's Law,   (P₁V₁ =P₂V₂)
  • Charles' Law  (V₁/T₁ =V₂/T₂)
  • Gay-Lussac's Law.  (P₁/T₁ =P₂/T₂)

It states that the ratio of the product of pressure and volume and the absolute temperature of a gas is equal to a constant.

P₁V₁/T₁ =P₂V₂/T₂

where P = Pressure, T = Absolute temperature, V = Volume occupied

The volume of the system remains constant,

So, P₁/T₁ =P₂/T₂

a) \frac{5}{278} =\frac{P_2}{313}  \\\\P_2=\frac{5*313}{278}\\ P_2 = 5.63 atm
