Chapter 3, Problem 13P

Blood pressure is usually measured by rapping a closed air-filled jacket quipped with a pressure sage around the upper arm of a person at the level of the heart. Using a mercury manometer and a stethoscope, the systolic pressure (the maximum pressure when theheart is pumping) and the diastolic pressure (the minimum pressure when the heart is resting) are measured in ntmHg. The systolic and diastolic pressures of a healthy person are about 120 mmHg and 80 mrnHg, respectively, and are indicated as 120 80. Express both of these gage pressures in kPa. psi. and meter water column.
