Problem 2 Assume, your head require 100mmHg or above to function properly. Some tribe had ring extending their neck to some height. If the head is extended to 3 meters. If below 70mmHg at head, you may faint so you should use 100mmHg for calculation. Assuming initial distance between your heart and head is 50cm. Velocity of your blood is 19cm/second at heart. Diameter of vain at heart is 1 inch. Diameter of combined small veins at brain is 10mm. a) Find pressure at heart, flow speed: for 10mm vein at brain if 50 cm height from the heart.
Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
