Question

A collapsible plastic bag contains a glucose solution. If the average gauge pressure in the vein is 1.33 x 103 Pa, what must be the minimum height h of the bag in order to infuse glucose into the vein? Assume the density of the solution is 1.02 x 103 kg/m3 .

Answer 1

Answer:

The height of the bag will be 0.133 m

Explanation:

We have given gauge pressure $P=1.33\times 10^3Pa=1330Pa$

Density of solution $\rho =1.02\times 10^3=1020kg/m^3$

We have to find the height of the bag

We know that gauge pressure is given by P=\rho gh

$1330=1020\times 9.8\times h$

h=0.133m

So the height of the bag will be 0.133 m
