Work Energy and Power - Result Question 35

38. The heart of man pumps 5 litres of blood through the arteries per minute at a pressure of $150 mm$ of mercury. If the density of mercury be $13.6 \times 10^{3} kg / m^{3}$ and $g=10 m / s^{2}$ then the power of heart in watt is :

(a) 2.35

(b) 3.0

(c) 1.50

(d) 1.70

Answer:

Correct Answer: 38. (d)

Solution:

  1. (d) Work done by the heart, $W=P \Delta V$

where, pressure $P=\rho g h$

and $h=150 mm-0.15 m$

$ \begin{aligned} & g=10 m / sec^{2} \\ & \rho=13.6 \times 10^{3} kg / m^{3} \end{aligned} $

So, Power $=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{P \cdot \Delta V}{t}$

Power $=\frac{\rho g h \times 5 \times 10^{-3}}{60}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{13.6 \times 10^{3} \times 10 \times 0.15 \times 5 \times 10^{-3}}{60}$

$\Rightarrow 1.7$ watt

Power $\vec{F} \cdot \vec{V}=P A \vec{V}=\rho g h A V$

$[\because P=\frac{F}{A}.$ and $.P=\rho g h]$

$\therefore P=13.6 \times 10^{3} \times 10 \times 150 \times 10^{-3} \times 0.5 \times 10^{-3} / 60$

$=\frac{102}{60}=1.70$ watt
