Blood pressure is usually given as a ratio of the maximum


Blood pressure is usually given as a ratio of the maximum pressure (systolic pressure) to the minimum pressure (diastolic pressure). Such pressures are commonly measured with a mercury manometer. A typical value for this ratio for a human would be 120/70, where the pressures are in mm Hg.

(a) What would these pressures be in pascals?

(b) If your car tire was inflated to 120 mm Hg, would it be sufficient for normal driving?
