Saline solution is delivered into the vein of a patient through a needle. The saline solution has a viscosity of 0.00037 Pa. s, a density of 1,060 kg/m^3, and is delivered through a 7.0-cm long needle with an internal diameter of 0.24mm directly into the patient's vein in which the blood pressure is 130mmHg (1mmHg=133.4 Pa). The saline solution must be delivered at a flow rate of 0.04 × 10^-6 m^3/s. How high must the the saline solution be suspended in order to achieve this flow rate?  Assume acceleration due to gravity is 9.81m/s^2
