1. (4) A blood pressure of 110 mm Hg is measured using a cuff over the wrist which is positioned 30 cm above heart level. According to Bernoulli's equation(given below), what is the blood pressure at heart level in mm Hg? a) blood velocity is zero at the heart as well as the wrist b) blood velocity is 125 cm/sec at the heart and 12 cm sec at the wrist pv/2 + P + pgh = constant P=lateral pressure p= 1 gm/cc_g=980 (cm/sec)/sec v=velocity in cm/sec 1330 dynes/cm per mm Hg 1.
