The minimum pressure require to force the blood of density 1.04 g cm-3 from the heart to the top of the head (vertical distance = 60 cm) is:
6.1 x 104 dyne cm-2
According to Bernoulli’s theorem
P1- P2 = r g (h2-h1) + ½ r (v22– v12)
If v2 = v1, then
P1- P2 = r g (h2-h1)
= 1.04 x 981 x 60 dyne cm-2
= 6.1 dyne cm-2
