Answer:
Explanation:
Given: Density of blood = 1.03 × 10³ Kg/m³, Height = 1.93 m g = 9.8 m/s²
pressure at the brain is equal to atmospheric pressure. = Hydro-static
pressure(ρ₀)
∴ pressure of the foot = pressure of the brain(ρ₀) + ( density of blood × acceleration due to gravity × height)(ρgh)
Hydro-static pressure = pressure at the feet- pressure at the brain(ρ₀)
Hydro-static pressure (Δp) = (ρgh + ρ₀) - ρ₀ = ρgh
Hydro-static pressure = 1.03 × 10³ × 9.8 × 1.93 = 1.948 × 10⁴ Pa
∴ Hydro-static pressure ≈ 1.95 × 10⁴ Pa
