The minimum pressure required to force the blood of density from the heart to the top of the head (vertical distance = ) is
Step 1: Given data & Formula used
In a body, the velocity of blood is the same everywhere, thus, .
Let and
The difference in height between the top and the bottom point will be: .
Formula used:
According to Bernoulli's theorem,
Where, Pressure at top
Pressure at bottom
density of blood
acceleration due to gravity
height at the bottom point
height at top point
velocity at bottom point
velocity at top point
Step 2: Substituting the given values in the equation and obtaining the result
Now, on substituting the values in the formula, we get:
Minimum pressure required to force the blood of density from the heart to the top of the head is .
