Chapter 10: Q72P (page 260)

(II) A physician judges the health of a heart by measuring the pressure with which it pumps blood. If the physician mistakenly attaches the pressurized cuff around a standing patient鈥檚 calf (about 1 m below the heart) instead of the arm (Fig. 10鈥�42), what error (in Pa) would be introduced in the heart鈥檚 blood pressure measurement?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The error in the heart鈥檚 blood pressure measurement is \(10300.5\;{\rm{Pa}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Concept

When a physician mistakenly attaches the pressurized cuff around a standing patient鈥檚 calf instead of the arm, there is a change in the value of the heart鈥檚 blood pressure measurement. This change in blood pressure can be determined by applying the hydrostatic pressure principle.

02

Given data

The change in the height of the pressurized cuff is, \(\Delta h = 1\;{\rm{m}}\).

03

Calculation

Using the material property table, the density of blood at normal body temperature is given by,

\(\rho = 1050\;{\rm{kg/}}{{\rm{m}}^3}\)

The expression for the error in the blood pressure measurement due to the change in the height of the pressurized cuff is given by,

\(\Delta P = \rho g\Delta h\)

Substituting the values in the above equation,

\(\begin{array}{l}\Delta P = 1050\;{\rm{kg/}}{{\rm{m}}^3} \times 9.81\;{\rm{m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2} \times 1\;{\rm{m}} \times \frac{{1\;{\rm{Pa}}}}{{1\;{\rm{kg/m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^2}}}\\\Delta P = 10300.5\;{\rm{Pa}}\end{array}\)

Therefore, the error in the heart鈥檚 blood pressure measurement is \(10300.5\;{\rm{Pa}}\).

(II) A two component model used to determine percent body fat in a human body assumes that a fraction \(f\left( { < 1} \right)\) of the body鈥檚 total mass m is composed of fat with a density of \({\rm{0}}{\rm{.90 g/c}}{{\rm{m}}^3}\), and that the remaining mass of the body is composed of fat-free tissue with a density of \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.10 g/c}}{{\rm{m}}^3}\). If the specific gravity of the entire body鈥檚 density is \({\rm{X}}\), show that the percent body fat \(\left( { = f \times 100} \right)\)is given by

\(\% {\rm{Body fat}} = \frac{{{\rm{495}}}}{X} - 450\).

Four lawn sprinkler heads are fed by a 1.9-cm-diameter pipe. The water comes out of the heads at an angle of 35掳 above the horizontal and covers a radius of 6.0 m. (a) What is the velocity of the water coming out of each sprinkler head? (Assume zero air resistance.) (b) If the output diameter of each head is 3.0 mm, how many liters of water do the four heads deliver per second? (c) How fast is the water flowing inside the 1.9-cm-diameter pipe?
