Answer:
The correct answer is 70.92 ml.
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the given question, the rate of the flow of blood through the aorta (v) is 11.2 cm/s.
The given diameter of aorta is 3.0 cm
Thus, the radius (r) of aorta will be, 3.0/2 = 1.5 cm
The cross-sectional area of the aorta (A) will be calculated by using the formula, πr²
= π ×(1.5)² cm²
= 2.25 π cm²
The pulse rate given is 67 beats per minute, therefore, time taken for 67 beats is 60 seconds, hence, time taken for 1 beat will be 60/67 second
Now the volume of the heart will be,
= A × v × t
= 2.25 π cm² × 11.2 cm/s × 60/67 s
= 70.92 cm³
As 1 cm³ is equal to 1 ml. So, the volume of a human heart will be 70.92 ml.
