Blood pressure is normally taken on the upper arm at the level of the heart. Suppose, however, that a patient has his arms in a cast so you cannot take his blood pressure in the usual way. If you have him stand up and take the blood pressure at his calf, which is 86.5 cm below his heart, what would be the magnitude of the difference between this measurement of blood pressure and a normal blood pressure measurement? The density of blood is 1060 kg/m3 Number mmHg

How many cubic meters of helium are required to lift a balloon with a 400-kg payload to a height of 8 000 m? Take He = 0.179 kg/m3. Assume the balloon maintains a constant volume and the density of air decreases with the altitude z according to the expression air = 0ez/8, where z is in meters and 0 = 1.20 kg/m3 is the density of air at sea level.
Considering the magnitude of typical arterial blood pressures, why are mercury rather than water manometers used for these measurements?
Bird bones have air pockets to reduce their weight—this also gives them an average density significantly less than that of the bones of other animals.

(b) What is the volume of the bone? (c) What is its average density?
