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.

A charged balloon will stick to a neutral wall. which process is involved?
Leokris [45]
<span>The charged balloon will stick to a neutral wall because of the Static Electricity:
</span>
 The matter is formed by atoms and these atoms are composed of electrons, protons and neutrons (the electrons have a negative charge, the protons have a positive charge and the neutrons have no charge).

 As the balloon is charged (It gained electrons), and the charge of the same sign repel each other, when it approaches the wall, the electrons of this wall will move away, and the positive charges (protons) will remain in the nearest area to the balloon. As the charges of different signs are attracted, the balloon will be stuck to the wall.

Give an example to explain that motion is relative in nature
Maurinko [17]
Consider a long train moving at speed v. Now consider a passenger throwing a ball inside this train, towards the back of the train, with same velocity v (but in the opposite direction of the train movement). 

- A passenger inside the train will see the ball moving with speed v
- For an observer outside the train, however, the ball will appear as still. In fact, for him the ball will have a speed v (given by the movement of the train) -v (velocity of the ball but moving in the opposite direction), so the net velocity will be v+(-v)=0.

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

<u>Distance</u><u> </u><u>between</u><u> </u><u>them</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>4</u><u>,</u><u>2</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>meters</u><u>.</u>

Explanation:

Consinder car A:

{ \bf{distance =  speed \times time }}

substitute:

distance = 20 \times (2 \times 60) \\  = 2400 \: m

Consider car B:

distance = 15 \times (2 \times 60) \\  = 1800 \: m

since these cars move in opposite directions, distance between them is their summation:

distance \: between = { \sum(distance \: of \: each \: car)} \\  = 2400 + 1800 \\  = 4200 \: m
