In 1896, S. Riva-Rocci developed the prototype of the current sphygmomanometer, a device used to measure blood pressure. When it

was worn as a cuff around the upper arm and inflated, the air pressure within the cuff was connected to a mercury manometer. The density of mercury is 13,550 kg/m3. Assume all pressures are gage pressures Part A The reading for the high (or systolic) pressure is 120 mm. Determine this pressure in pascals and psi. Express your answers using three significant figures separated by a comma. pPa, ppsi = nothing Pa, psi Request Answer Part B The reading for the low (or diastolic) pressure is 80 mm. Determine this pressure in pascals and psi. Express your answers using three significant figures separated by a comma. pPa, ppsi = nothing Pa, psi

Answer:

Explanation:

A pressure that causes the Hg column to rise 1 millimeter is called a torr. The term 1 mmHg used can replaced by the torr.

1 atm = 760 torr = 14.7 psi.

A.

120 mmHg

Psi:

760 mmHg = 14.7 psi

120 mmHg = 14.7/760 * 120

= 2.32 psi

Pa:

1mmHg = 133.322 Pa

120 mmHg = 120 * 133.322

= 15998.4 Pa

B.

80 mmHg

Psi:

760 mmHg = 14.7 psi

80 mmHg = 14.7/760 * 80

= 1.55 psi

Pa:

1mmHg = 133.322 Pa

80 mmHg = 80 * 133.322

= 10665.6 Pa

The forklift exerts a 1,500.0 N force on the box and moves it 3.00 m forward to the stack. How much work does the forklift do ag
Deffense [45]
The answer is D using the work formula
W= F•d but if it was against gravity, it would be 0 if gravity is exerting the same amount, I would pick D using the formula, but I'm not so sure sorry

The stopwatch used by a student to measure velocity of a pulse in a slinky was of least count 0.1 second. He stops the stopwatch
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Least count of the pulse stopwatch is given by

\Delta t = 0.1 s

this means each division of the stopwatch will measure 0.1 s of time

After 3 journeys from one end to other we can see that total time that is measured here is shown by the clock as 52nd division

So here total time is given as

Time = (Number of division) (Least count)

now we will have

T = 52 \times 0.1s

T = 5.2 s

The weight of an astronaut plus his space suit on the Moon is only 250 N. (a) How much does the suited astronaut weigh on Earth?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

a)1500N

b)153.06kg

Explanation:

F = ma

g(moon) = is the acceleration due to gravity on the moon

g(earth) is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth

g(moon) = 1/6g(earth)

g(earth) =6g(moon)

F(gearth) = mg(earth)

               = m 6g(moon)

               = 6 × 250

               = 1500N

b) F(gearth) = mg(earth)

m = F /g

 = 1500/9.8

 = 153.06kg
