(a) Giraffe will lower his/her head 6 m to drink water at ground level
from the level when he/she is eating leaves.
• Determine the change in hydrostatic blood pressure in a giraffe's
head during the change of the position. Assme the specific gravity
of giraffe's blood, SG=1.
●
solution
(a)
Compare the pressure change calculated above to the normal 120
mm of mercury pressure in a human's heart. The specific gravaity
of mercury is 13.6.
