Convert the systolic/diastolic of 115/85 mm of Hg into Pa, psi and
Answer to Problem 21P
The systolic pressure from 115
The diastolic pressure from 85
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
A systolic pressure is 115
A diastolic pressure is 85
Formula used:
Formula to determine the gauge pressure is,
Here,
g is the gravitational constant.
h is the height of the fluid column.
Calculation:
Case 1:
Conversion for 115 mm Hg to Pa:
Conversion for 115 mm Hg to psi:
1 mm of Hg is equal to 0.0193368 psi. Therefore,
Conversion for 115 mm Hg to inch of water:
Substitute
Reduce the equation as follows,
Converting the height of fluid column
Case 2:
Conversion for 85 mm Hg to Pa:
Conversion for 85 mm Hg to psi:
1 mm of Hg is equal to 0.0193368 psi. Therefore,
Conversion for 85 mm Hg to inch of water:
Substitute
Reduce the equation as follows,
Converting the height of fluid column
Conclusion:
Hence, the conversion for systolic/diastolic of 115/85 mm Hg is explained.

- Please helparrow_forwardCan you follow the instruction given: Determine the specific weight on each liquid by using the concept of P2 = P1+γh. Start with the upper most reader (Elevation 2m) since its P1 is zero. Repeat this until you reach the third elevation. Get the average of the three (3) specific weights. Divide this into the specific weight of water. Take this as your Specific Gravity for Fluid A. Gravity= 9.8 m/s2 The atmosphere is off in the simulation.
