Question

The Herat of a man pumps 5litres of blood through arteries per minute at a pressure of 150mm of mercury. If density of mercury is 13600kg/metre cube , then power of heart in watt is

Answer 1

Answer:

WORK DONE BY THE HEART=PV

WHERE,P is pressure and V is the volume of blood being pumped.

therefore,P=hpg

here,h=height of mercury=150mm

                                           = .15m

p=density of mercury=13.6*10^3kg/m^3

g=10m/s^2

also,V=5000 i.e, 5*10^-3m^3

now, P=W/T=hpgv/t

where,t=60

therefore, putting all these values we get,P=1.7W

THEREFORE,THE POWER OF HEART IS 1.7M
