A normal blood pressure reading is less than 120/80 where both numbers are gauge pressures measured in milliliters of mercury (mmHg). What are the (a) absolute and (b) gauge pressures in pascals at the base of a 0.120m column of mercury.

1) Suppose that your pressure gauge for determining the blood pressure of a patient measured absolute pressure ? instead of gauge pressure. How would you write the normal value of systolic blood pressure, 120 mmHg, in such a case? 2)Estimate the total hydrostatic force ? on the Hoover Dam.
Each time your heart beats, your blood pressure first increases and then decreases as the heart rests between beats. The maximum and minimum blood pressures are calledthe systolic and diastolic pressures, respectively. Your blood pressure reading is written as systolic/diastolic. A reading of 120/80 is considered normal. A certainperson's blood pressure is modeled by the function p(t)=115 25sin (160pit) where p(t) is the pressure in mmHg, at time t measured in minutes. a) Find the period of pb) FInd the...
Convert normal blood pressure readings of 120 over 80 mm Hg to Newtons per meter squared using the relationship for pressure due to the weight of a fluid (P = hρg) rather than a conversion factor. a. Insert the 120 mm Hg b. Insert the 80 mm
8. Normal blood pressure typically is defined as having systolic pressure < 120 and diastolic pressure <80. Among US residents age 40+, mean systolic pressure is 130 with a standard deviation of 35, and mean diastolic pressure is 80 with a standard deviation of 20. a) What is the probability that a US resident 40+ has high systolic blood pressure? b) What is the probability that a US resident 40+ does not have high diastolic blood pressure?
Normal blood pressure is 120/80. The top number refers to the pressure A. in the arteries when the ventricles are contracting B. in the arteries when the ventricles are relaxing C. in the arteries when the atria are contracting D. in the arteries when the atria are relaxing E. in the veins when the ventricles are contracting QUESTION 18 A red blood cell in an artery of the left arm is on its way to deliver oxygen to a cell...

BLOOD AND FLUID QUESTION 1 (0A patient's blood pressure taken at the arm is 120 mmHg systolic and 70 mmHg diastolic. What would you expect the blood pressure (systolic and diastolic pressures) to be at the top of the head given that this point is 40 cm above the measurement point? Remember blood pressure is a gauge pressure and that 1 kPa = 7.5 mmHg. (The density of blood is about 1060 kg/m.) Choose one: a. 89...
what is the normal partial pressure of CO2 in arterial blood? a) 22-26 mmHG b) 80-100 mmHG c) 35-45 mmHG d) 60-75 mmHG e) 25-50 mmHG
The human brain and spinal cord are immersed in the
cerebrospinal fluid. The fluid is normally continuous between the
cranial and spinal cavities and exerts a pressure of 100 to 200 mm
of H2O above the prevailing atmospheric pressure. In
medical work, pressures are often measured in units of mm of
H2O because body fluids, including the cerebrospinal
fluid, typically have nearly the same density as water. The
pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid can be measured by means of a...
Question 3 Background: Blood Pressure versus Position Does the position of patient in which the patient's blood pressure is measured affect the result of the measurement? standing position results in lower readings than measuring systolic blood pressures in supine position. Let the parameter Pd represent the An experiment was designed to assess whether measuring systolic blood pressure population mean difference in systolic blood measurement readings (Standing less Supine, i.e., Standing Supine) for the population of all adults. The researcher would...
The blood pressure for men aged 18 to 29 is modeled with a normal density curve. The distribution has a mean of ? = 120 and a standard deviation of ? = 10. The following is the random variable distribution with the normal density curve. Use this to answer the following questions. SHOW WORK! a. (2 point) If a man has a blood pressure of 105 how many standard deviations away from the mean is his blood pressure? b. (2...
