Blood pressure in Argentinosaurus. If this long-necked, gigantic sauropod had a head height of 23.7 m and a heart height of 7.00 m, (a) what (hydrostatic) gauge pressure in its blood was required at the heart such that the blood pressure at the brain was 93.1 torr (just enough to perfuse the brain with blood)? Assume the blood had a density of 1.06 × 103 kg/m3. (b) What was the blood pressure at the feet?

Answer:In a system the difference in pressure between 2 points is given byNow it is given that pressure in the brain was 93.1 torr=12.41 kPaThus we havePart 2)Applying the same equation again we get...
