Blood of specific gravity 1 flows through an artery in the neck of a giraffe from its
heart to the head. If the pressure at the beginning of the artery (outlet of the
heart) is equal to 0.212 m of mercury, determine the pressure at the end of the
artery when the head is:

(a) 2.4 m above the heart
(b) 1.8 m below the heart

Please solve using dimensions.
