Imagine a skinny straw in the water, standing right over the hole. The WEIGHT of the water in that straw is the force on the tape. Now, the volume of water in the straw is (1 mm^2) times (20 cm). Once you have the volume, you can use the density and gravity to find the weight. And THAT's the force on the tape. If the tape can't hold that force, then it peels off and the water runs out through the hole. /// This is a pretty hard problem, because it involved mm^2, cm, and m^3. You have to be very very very careful with your units as you work through this one. If you've been struggling with it, I'm almost sure the problem is the units.
Answer:
patient receiving drug 25 MCG/minute
Explanation:
given data
infusing = 15 ml/hr
drug = 50 mg
D5W = 500 ml
to find out
How many MCG/minute
solution
we know infusing rate is 15 ml/hr = 0.25 ml/min
so 0.25 ml drug content = 50 /500 × 0.25
0.25 ml drug content = 0.025 mg
so here
rate of drug will be 0.025 mg
rate of drug = 0.025 mg = 25 ×
gm/min
rate of drug = 25 MCG/minute
so patient receiving drug 25 MCG/minute
