Answer #1

Arterial pressure = 100 torr.

Here, given density is = 1.05 g/cm^3.

But,usually we take it as 1 g/cm^3.

Thats why i have written ans considering both the values .they are nearly approximate.

Write the value what best suites your answer in your book.

Thanku..please rate.!

An aortic aneurysm is a cardiovascular abnormality where the primary artery supplying blood from the heart irregularly increases in size, usually in the abdomen region. Because of the aneurysm, the radius of the aorta of a patient has increased in size as compared to a healthy aorta. The speed of blood through the healthy portion of the aorta 0.34 m/s when the patient is lying flat. The pressure difference due to the increase in artery is 30 Pa Consider the...
