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

A motorcycle begins at rest and accelerates uniformly S7.9 we want to find a time to take the motorcycle to reach a speed of 100
Len [333]

The motorbike reaches 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds

Explanation:

The motion of the motorbike is a uniformly accelerated motion (= constant acceleration), therefore we can use the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the motorbike in this problem,

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

v = 100 km/h = 27.8 m/s is the final velocity

a=7.9 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Solving for t, we find the time it takes for the bike to reach that velocity:

t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{27.8-0}{7.9}=3.5 s

An object located near the surface of Earth has a weight of a 245 N
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The mass of the object is 24.5 kg and weight of the object on Mars is 91.14 N.

Explanation:

Weight of the object on the surface of Earth, W = 245 N

On the surface of Earth, acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s²

Weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

m is mass

m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{245\ N}{10\ m/s^2}\\\\=24.5\ kg

So, the mass of the object is 24.5 kg

Acceleration due to gravity on Mars, g' = 3.72 m/s²

Weight of the object on Mars,

W' =mg'

W' = 24.5 kg × 3.72 m/s²

= 91.14 N

So, the weight of the object on Mars is 91.14 N.

While trees are not the largest level in the pyramid of numbers, they are still the base for both the pyramids of biomass and py
Oxana [17]
It is true because <span>A pyramid of biomass is a representation of the amount of energy contained in biomass, at different trophic levels for a given point in time . The amount of energy available to one trophic level is limited by the amount stored by the level below. Because energy is lost in the transfer from one level to the next, there is successively less total energy as you move up trophic levels. Tree is a base as it provides food and energy.</span>
