Question:
Blood pressure is conventionally measured in the dimensions of millimeters in a column of mercury, and the readings are expressed as two numbers, for example, 120 and 80. The first number is called the systolic value, and it is the maximum pressure developed as the heart contracts. The second number (called the diastolic reading) is the pressure when the heart is at rest. In the units of kPa and psi, what is the difference in pressure between the given systolic and diastolic readings? The density of mercury is 13.54 Mg/m3.
