Chapter 10 Problem 10.74

Question

Intravenous transfusions are often made under gravity, as shown in Fig. 10–55. Assuming the fluid has a density of \(1.00 \ \mathrm {g/cm}^3\) at what height h should the bottle be placed so the liquid pressure is (a) 52 mm-Hg, and (b) \(680 \ \mathrm {mm-H}_2\mathrm O\)? (c) If the blood pressure is 75 mm-Hg above atmospheric pressure, how high should the bottle be placed so that the fluid just barely enters the vein?

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 10 problem number 74 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Intravenous transfusions are often made under gravity, as shown in Fig. 10–55. Assuming the fluid has a density of \(1.00 \ \mathrm {g/cm}^3\) at what height h should the bottle be placed so the liquid pressure is (a) 52 mm-Hg, and (b) \(680 \ \mathrm {mm-H}_2\mathrm O\)? (c) If the blood pressure is 75 mm-Hg above atmospheric pressure, how high should the bottle be placed so that the fluid just barely enters the vein?
From the textbook chapter Fluids you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
