A medical technician tries to determine what percentage of a patient's artery is blocked by the plate. To do this, she measures the blood pressure just before the blockage region and finds that it is 1.2 × 104 Pa, while in the blockage region it is 1.15 × 104 Pa. In addition, she knows that blood is circulating in the normal artery just before the blockage point at one point. speed of 30.0 cm/s. The density of the patient's blood is 1.06 g cm-3 What percentage of the patient's artery cross section is blocked by plaque?
Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
