For the part k, when the person is lying on the bed, then the spinal fluid pressure and the water pressure will be equal.
00:16
So we can write the spinal fluid pressure as the density of the mercury times the gravity is an acceleration times the height of the mercury and that will be equivalent to the density of water times the gravity isnal acceleration times the height of the water column.
00:32
Now we can cancel out g on both side.
00:36
So the height of the water column is equivalent to the height of the mercury times the density of the mercury over the density of the water.
00:52
Now substitute the value.
00:53
So the height of the water column equals the height of the mercury is 9 times 10 -3, 10 -1 -3 meters, and the density of mercury is 13 .6.
01:09
Times 10 x3 kilograms per cubic meter and the density of water is 1 ,000 kilograms per cubic meter so the height of the water column will be equivalent to 12 .24 times 10 x minus 2 meters or we can say the height of the water column is 12 .24 centimeters.
01:39
Now part b when the person sit over the tap then the pressure at the tap will be equivalent to the density of the mercury times the gravitational acceleration times the height of the mercury column plus the density of the spinal fluid times the gravitational acceleration times the height of the spine and that equals the density of water times the gravitational acceleration times the height of the water column...
