The left side of the heart creates a pressure of 127 mm Hg by exerting a force directly on the blood over an effective area of 16.5 cm2. What force does it exert to accomplish this?
having some trouble understanding how to solve for this one.
Force = Pressure x Area
Pressure can be written as

Now substituting the given values,
Force = 13594 x 9.81 x 0.127 x 16.5x10-4 = 27.94 Newton
I have used the standard density of Mercury as 13594 kg/m3 and converted other values into SI units.
Hope you will find it useful. Please rate. Cheers.

A subject has normal values of 125/80 mm Hg blood pressure and heart rate of 65 bpm and a cardiac output of 5 L min-1. C. If the heart rate does not change, what is the new peripheral resistance?
The blood pressure at your heart is approximately 100 mm of Hg. As blood is pumped from the left ventricle of your heart, it flows through the aorta, a single large blood vessel with a diameter of about 2.5 cm. The speed of blood flow in the aorta is about 60 cm/s. Any change in pressure as blood flows in the aorta is due to the change in height: the vessel is large enough that viscous drag is not a...
