It has been estimated that a man's heart is about 33 cm below his brain. Considering the density of human blood to be 1.1x10³ kg/m³, what pressure must the heart produce to supply blood to the brain?
Pressure within the body is an enclosed system and can be calculated by the formula as follows,
Pressure=
where h= height of fluid column to be pumped
the density of fluid
the gravitational acceleration assumed as 10 ( )
Pressure =
P= 36330
