Pressure variation with depth

Intravenous feeding A glucose solution of density 1050 kg/m3 is transferred from a collapsible bag through a tube and syringe into the vein of a person’s arm. The pressure in the arm exceeds the atmospheric pressure by 1400 N/m2. How high above the arm must the top of the liquid in the bottle be so that the pressure in the glucose solution at the needle exceeds the pressure of the blood in the arm? Ignore the pressure drop across the needle and tubing due to viscous forces.
