Calculate the hydrostatic difference in blood pressure between the brain and the foot in a person of height 1.83mthe density of blood is 1.06103 kgm3?

Answer 1

We estimate the pressure difference (specifically due to hydrostatic effects) as follows:

Δp = ρgΔh =(pgh1-pgh2)(1.06 × 103 kg/m3) (9.8m/s2) (1.83 m-0) =1.90 × 104 Pa .
