Question
Calculate the hydrostatic difference in blood pressure between the brain and the foot in a person of height $1.83 \mathrm{~m}$. The density of blood is $1.06 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$.
Step 1
First, we need to find the height difference between the brain and the foot. Since the person's height is 1.83 m, we can assume that the height difference is approximately the same (1.83 m). Show more…

Calculate the hydrostatic difference in blood pressure in a person of height $1.83 \mathrm{~m}$ between the brain and the foot.
What is the difference in blood pressure (mmHg) between the top of the head and bottom of the feet of a 1.75-m-tall person standing vertically? The density of blood is $1.06 \times 103 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m} 3^{1.06 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}}$.
