Step 1
First, we need to find the volume of the blood. We know that the density of blood is approximately 1060 kg/m³. So, we can find the volume using the formula: Volume = Mass / Density Show more…

Calculate the amount of work (in Joules) required for your heart to pump one 0.964 liter of blood a vertical distance of 0.329 meters from your heart to your head. Assume that the density of blood is 1.06 g/cm³.

Calculate the amount of work (in Joules) required for your heart to pump 1.65 g of blood from heart level to your head over a distance of 20 cm. Ignore the energy returned to the system by "falling" blood in the veins.

The human heart is a powerful and extremely reliable pump. Each day it takes in and discharges about $7500 \mathrm{~L}$ of blood. Assume that the work done by the heart is equal to the work required to lift this amount of blood a height equal to that of the average Australian woman $(1.65 \mathrm{~m})$. The density (mass per unit volume) of blood is $1.05 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$. (a) How much work does the heart do in a day? (b) What is the heart's power output?
