Intravenous infusions usually are driven by gravity by hanging the fluid bottle at a certain height to counteract the blood pressure in the vein and to force the fluid into the body. The higher the bottle is raised, the higher the flow rate of the fluid. (Density of fluid = 1020 kg/m³). a) If it the fluid and blood pressure balance each other when the bottle is 1.2 above the arm level, determine the gage pressure of the blood (in kPa). b) If the gage pressure of the fluid at the arm level needs to be 24 kPa for sufficient flow rate, determine how high the bottle must be placed. (in meters).

Question
Intravenous infusions usually are driven by gravity by hanging the fluid bottle at a certain
height to counteract the blood pressure in the vein and to force the fluid into the body. The
higher the bottle is raised, the higher the flow rate of the fluid. (Density of fluid = 1020
kg/m³).
a) If it the fluid and blood pressure balance each other when the bottle is 1.2 above the
arm level, determine the gage pressure of the blood (in kPa).
b) If the gage pressure of the fluid at the arm level needs to be 24 kPa for sufficient flow
rate, determine how high the bottle must be placed. (in meters).
