Blood pressure is normally measured on the upper arm at the same height as the heart. Due to therapy for an injury, a patient's upper arm is extended 30.0 cm above his heart. In that position, what should be his systemic blood-pressure reading, expressed in the standard way, if he has normal blood pressure? The density of blood is 1060 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 P₁, while in the region of blockage it is P2. Furthermore, she knows that blood flowing through the normal artery just before the point of blockage is traveling at v₁, and the density of this patient's blood is p. The patient is laying down so there are no differential effects due to gravity. a. Symbolically, what is the ratio of the artery radius at the blockage, r2, to the ratio of the artery radius at the blockage, r₁? (find r₂/r₁) b. Find the numerical value of r2/r1. P₁ = 1.20x104 Pa, P₂=1.15×104 Pa, v₁ =30.0 cm/s, p = 1060 kg/m³.
Suppose you measure a standing person’s blood pressure by placing the cuff on his leg 0.495 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. Calculate the systolic pressure you would observe, in units of mm Hg, if the pressure at the heart was 120 over 80 mm Hg. Note that the to (and greater) number is systolic pressure. Ps? Calculate the diastolic pressure you would observe, in unites of mm Hg, if the pressure at heart was 120 overc80cmm Hg. Note that the bottom (smaller) number is the diastolic pressure.Pd?
Pressure in the spinal fluid is measured. If the pressure in the spinal fluid is 10.0 mm Hg: (a) What is the reading of the water manometer in cm water? (b) What is the reading if the person sits up, placing the top of the fluid 60 cm above the tap? The fluid density is 1.05 g/mL.
At a given instant, the blood pressure in the heart is 1.4 x 10^4 Pa. If an artery in the brain is 0.49m above the heart, what is the pressure in the artery? Ignore any pressure changes due to blood flow.
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.

A patient with asthma can experience a constriction of their airways. During a bronchospasm, their airway radius reduces from r=3mm to r=2.5 mm. What is the associated reduction in air flow rate if the change in pressure (ΔP) and length of the tube (L) are 125 Pa and 100mm respectively? Notes: apparent viscosity of air is 1.81x10^-5 Pa·s and flow rate (Q) is given by Poiseuille’s Law Q=(ΔPπr^4)/8ηL)
