Question:

Assume the following simplified dependence of the pressure in a ventricle of the human heart as a function of the volume of blood pumped.

Ps Pd 75 V/cm3 150 Pressure

Ps , the systolic pressure, is 120. mm Hg, corresponding to 0.158 atm. Pd , the diastolic pressure, is 80.0 mm Hg, corresponding to 0.105 atm. If the volume of blood pumped in one heartbeat is 75.0 cm3, calculate the work done in a heartbeat.
