QUESTION 3
Blood pressure is conventionally measured in terms of the height of a column of mercury expressed in units of millimeters. Blood pressure measurements have two values, for
example, 120 mmHg (mm of mercury) and 80 mmHg. The first value is the systolic pressure, the maximum pressure developed as the heart contracts. The second value is the
diastolic pressure, the pressure when the heart muscle relaxes. Convert 20 mmHg to units of Pa. The density of mercury is 13.54 Mg/m³.
QUESTION 4
For the previous problem, convert 20 mmHg to unit of psi.
