Question

A collapsible plastic bag contains a glucose solution. If the average gauge pressure in the vein is 1.33 x 103 Pa, what must be the minimum height h of the bag in order to infuse glucose into the vein? Assume the density of the solution is 1.02 x 103 kg/m3 .

Answer 1

The height of the bag will be 0.133 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given gauge pressure
`P=1.33* 10^3Pa=1330Pa`

Density of solution
`\rho =1.02* 10^3=1020kg/m^3`

We have to find the height of the bag

We know that gauge pressure is given by P=\rho gh

`1330=1020* 9.8* h`

h=0.133m

So the height of the bag will be 0.133 m
