The maximum blood pressure in the upper arm of a healthy person is about 120 mmhg. If a vertical tube open to the atmosphere is connected to the vein in the arm of the person, determine how high the blood will rise in the tube. Take the density of the blood to be 1040 kg/m3.

Answer :

The blood will high rise upto 1.55 m the can be calculated by using the given entities.

The calculation of pressure in terms of height blood that rises in the capillary can be calculated as follows:

The gauge pressure is 120 mm Hg.

P blood= P atm+ P gh(Hg)+=P atm + Pgh_blood

p h_Hg=p h_blood

13600*120*10^-3=1050*h_blood

h_blood=1.55 m

The perpendicular pressure in line with unit area, or the strain at a factor inside a restricted fluid.

Thus, the height of the blood that will rise in a capillary is 1.55 m.
