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.
