The heart of a man pumps 5 L of blood through  the arteries per minute at a pressure of 150 mm of mercury . If the density of mercury be 13.6 x 103 kg/ m3 and g = 10 m/s2, then the power of heart in watt is  

  • 1.70

  • 2.35

  • 3.0

  • 1.50

Solution

A.

1.70

 Given, pressure = 150 mm of Hg
Pumping rate of heart of a man
 = fraction numerator d straight V over denominator d straight t end fraction space equals space fraction numerator 5 space straight x space 10 to the power of negative 3 end exponent over denominator 60 end fraction space straight m cubed divided by straight s

Power space of space heart space equals space straight P space. dV over dt space equals space ρgh space. space dV over dt space left square bracket space straight p equals space ρgh right square bracket
