Intravenous infusions are often made under gravity, as shown in Fig. 10-55. Assuming the fluid has a density o 1.00g/cm3, at what height h should the bottle be placed so the liquid pressure is
(a) 55 mm-Hg, and
(b) 650 mm–H2O
(c) If the blood pressure is 18mm-Hg above atmospheric pressure, how high should the bottle be placed so that the fluid just barely enters the vein?
