Assuming that the density of the fluid being administered


Intravenous infusions are usually made with the help of the gravitational force. Assuming that the density of the fluid being administered is 1.07 g/ml, at what height should the IV bag be placed above the entry point so that the fluid just enters the vein if the blood pressure in the vein is 19.6 mm Hg above atmospheric pressure? Assume that the IV bag is collapsible.

Convert mmHg to Pa.
