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 150mm of mercury. If the density of mercury be 13.6×103kg/m3 and g=10m/s2 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=PΔV

where, pressure P=ρgh

and h=150mm0.15m

g=10m/sec2ρ=13.6×103kg/m3

So, Power =Wt=PΔVt

Power =ρgh×5×10360

13.6×103×10×0.15×5×10360

1.7 watt

Power FV=PAV=ρghAV

[P=FA. and .P=ρgh]

P=13.6×103×10×150×103×0.5×103/60

=10260=1.70 watt
