An IV is connected to a patient's vein. The blood in the vein has a gauge pressure of 10.3 mmHg. At least how far above the vein must the IV bag be hung in order for the fluid to flow into the vein? Assume the fluid in the IV has the same density as blood. The density of blood is 1060 kg/m3 and the density of mercury is 13,600 kg/ m3.

A medical technician is trying to determine what percentage of a patient's artery is blocked by plaque. To do this, she measures the blood pressure just before the region of blockage and finds that it is 1.20×104 Pa , while in the region of blockage it is 1.15x104 Pa . Furthermore, she knows that blood flowing through the normal artery just before the point of blockage is traveling at 30.5 cm/s , and the specific gravity of this patient's blood is 1.06. Part A What percentage of the cross-sectional area of the patient's artery is blocked by the plaque? Express your answer as a percentage. ? % is blocked Submit Request Answer
