Blood pressure is usually given as a ratio of the maximum pressure (systolic pressure) to the minimum
Question:
Blood pressure is usually given as a ratio of the maximum pressure (systolic pressure) to the minimum pressure (diastolic pressure). As shown in Video V2.3, such pressures are commonly measured with a mercury manometer. A typical value for this ratio for a human would be 120/70, where the pressures are in \(\mathrm{mm} \mathrm{Hg}\).
(a) What would these pressures be in pascals?
(b) If your car tire was inflated to \(120 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}\), would it be sufficient for normal driving?
