Question:
For a young, healthy individual, Systolic pressure is ~120 torr (mm Hg) and diastolic pressure is ~80 torr (read "120/80"). In this problem, we'll treat the average pressure of the pulsating blood at heart level to be 100 torr (all pressures provided are gauge pressures).
Compute the average gauge pressure in the legs of a standing person, 130 cm below the heart. Give your answer in Torr.
