Question

In intravenous feeding, a needle is inserted in a vein in the patient’s arm and a tube leads from the needle to the reservoir of fluid (whose density is 1045 kg/m3) located at the height h above the arm. The top of the reservoir is open to the air. If the gauge pressure inside the vein is 6000 Pascals, what is the minimum value of h that allows fluid to enter the vein? Assume the needle diameter is large enough that you can ignore the fluid’s viscosity.
