Question

An open tube mercury manometer is used to maesure the pressure in oxygen tank. When the atmospheric pressure is 1080 mbar, what is the absolute pressure (in Pa) in tha tank if the heihgt of mercury in the open tube is 27.5cm lower than the mercury in the tube connected to the tank? PHg = 13600 kg/m3

Suppose you measure a standing person’s blood pressure by placing the cuff on his leg 0.525 m below the heart. For this problem, assume that there is no loss of pressure due to resistance in the circulatory system (a reasonable assumption, since major arteries are large). The density of blood is 1.05×103 kg/m3 a. Calculate the systolic pressure you would observe, in units of mm Hgmm Hg, if the pressure at the heart was 120 over 80 mm Hg. Note that the top (and greater) number is the systolic pressure. b. Calculate the diastolic pressure you would observe, in units of mm Hgmm Hg, if the pressure at the heart was 120 over 80 mm Hg. Note that the bottom (smaller) number is the diastolic pressure.
When a person inhales, air moves down the bronchus (windpipe) at 13.8 cm/s. The average flow speed of the air doubles through a constriction in the bronchus. Assuming incompressible flow, determine the pressure drop in the constriction. Neglect the change of pressure due to change in height ?y in the wind pipe. If the pressure goes down then the pressure drop is negative. Use 1.20 kg/m33 for the density of air.
