Solved: Intravenous infusions are often made under

Chapter 4, Problem 63GP

(choose chapter or problem)

Intravenous infusions are often made under gravity, as shown in Fig. . Assuming the fluid has a density of \(1.00 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\), at what height  should the bottle be placed so the liquid pressure is

(a) \(55 \mathrm{~mm}-\mathrm{Hg}\), and

(b) \(650 \mathrm{~mm}-\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)?

 If the blood pressure is \(18 \mathrm{~mm}-\mathrm{Hg}\) above atmospheric pressure, how high should the bottle be placed so that the fluid just barely enters the vein?
