Systemic blood pressure is expressed as the ratio of the systolic pressure (when the heart first ejects blood into the arteries) to the diastolic pressure (when the heart is relaxed). Normal systemic blood pressure is 12080. What is the maximum force (in newtons) that the blood exerts against each square centimeter of the heart for a person with normal blood pressure?
