A sphygmomanometer is a device used to measure blood pressure, typically consisting of an inflatable cuff and a manometer used to measure air pressure in the cuff. In a mercury sphygmomanometer, blood pressure is related to the difference in heights between two columns of mercury. The mercury sphygmomanometer shown in the figure below contains air at the cuff pressure P. Po The difference in mercury heights between the left tube and the right tube is h 108 mmHg 0.108 m, a normal systolic reading. What is the gauge systolic blood pressure P e in pascals? The density of mercury is p-13.6 x 10 ka/m and the ambient pressure is P 1.01 x 105 Pa.

The plunger of a syringe has an internal diameter of 1.0 cm and the end of the needle has an internal diameter of 0.35 mm. A practitioner lightly squeezes the plunger, but no serum is emitted by the needle into a vein. So the practitioner gradually increases the squeezing force that she exerts on the plunger such that serum begins to be emitted from the needle into the vein. Assuming no surface tension or friction, what is the minimum squeezing force that the practitioner appli to the plunger in order that serum begins to be emitted from the needle into the vein? Take the pressure of blood in the vein to be 20 mmHg above that of atmospheric pressure. 0.70 N 1.4 N 3.3 N 1.7 N 0.21 N 0.24 N

A basketball is pressurized to a gauge pressure of PG = 55 kPa when at the surface of a swimming pool. (Patm = 101 kPa). The ball is then submerged in the pool of water which has a density ρ = 1000 kg/m3. Assume the ball does not change in mass, temperature, or volume as it is submerged. Calculate the absolute pressure inside the basketball in kPa when it is at the surface. Write an equation for the pressure difference ΔP between the inside and outside of the ball when it is submerged a distance y below the surface of the water. Solve the pressure equation for the depth (in meters) at which the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the ball will become zero. At this depth the pressure inside the basketball is the same as the pressure outside the ball.
