Normal blood pressure for a human is 120/80 mm Hg. By modeling a
sphygmomanometer pressure gage as a U-tube manometer (as shown in the figure
below), convert the systolic pressures (120 mm Hg) to psig. Neglect change in air
pressure.
Use the following fluid properties:
SH₂ = 13.6 Pwater 1.94 slugs/ft³
Blood
pressure
A. Psystolic = 334 psi
B. Psystolic 27.87 psi
C. Psystolic
10.39 psi
D. Psystolic = 2.32 psi
Air
