Convert pressure to mm of blood assuming specific gravity

Reference no: EM13314453

The sphygmomanometer is a device used to measure blood pressure. For a healthy person, the diastolic pressure is about 80mmHg (gage). Convert the pressure to mm of blood assuming the specific gravity of mercury and blood are 13.6 and 1.05, respectively.
