When you hold your hands at your sides, you may have noticed that the veins sometimes bulge--the height difference between your

heart and your hands produces increased pressure in the veins. The same thing happens in the arteries. If the average arterial pressure at your heart is a typical 100 mmHg, what is the average arterial pressure in your hands when they are held at your side? Assume your hands are 60 cm below your heart.

To solve this problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to pressure and pressure, absolute and atmospheric.

Average arterial pressure in the hands,

P = 100mmHg+ h*\rho_{blood}g

Where,

P = Pressure

h = height (at this case the length of the arm)

Replacing with our values

P = 100mm(Hg)+(600mm)(\frac{\rho_{blood}}{\rho_{mercury}})(Hg)

P = 100mmHg+600*\frac{1060}{13600}mmHg

P = 100mmHg+46.765mmHg

P = 146.765mmHg

Where,

\rho_{blood} = 1060Kg/m^3

\rho_{mercury}=13600Kg/m^3

Therefore the pressure is 146.765mmHg

A circular coil of radius 5.0 cm and resistance 0.20 Ω is placed in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the c
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Assume number of turn is

N= 1

Radius of coil is.

r = 5cm = 0.05m

Then, Area of the surface is given as

A = πr² = π × 0.05²

A = 7.85 × 10^-3 m²

Resistance of

R = 0.20 Ω

The magnetic field is a function of time

B = 0.50exp(-20t) T

Magnitude of induce current at

t = 2s

We need to find the induced emf

This induced voltage, ε can be quantified by:

ε = −NdΦ/dt

Φ = BAcosθ, but θ = 90°, they are perpendicular

So, Φ = BA

ε = −NdΦ/dt = −N d(BA) / dt

A is a constant

ε = −NA dB/dt

Then, B = 0.50exp(-20t)

So, dB/dt = 0.5 × -20 exp(-20t)

dB/dt = -10exp(-20t)

So,

ε = −NA dB/dt

ε = −NA × -10exp(-20t)

ε = 10 × NA exp(-20t)

Now from ohms law, ε = iR

So, I = ε / R

I = 10 × NA exp(-20t) / R

Substituting the values given

I = 10×1× 7.85 ×10^-3×exp(-20×2)/0.2

I = 1.67 × 10^-18 A
