At a resting pulse rate of 77 beats per minute, the human heart typically pumps about 65 mL of blood per beat. Blood has a denstity of 1060 kg / m3. Circulating all of the blood in the body through the heart takes about 1 min for a person at rest. (a) How much blood is in the body? (b) On average, what mass of blood does the heart pump with each heart beat?

Answer :

taskmasters
Given:
1 minute circulation
77 beats per minute
65 ml of blood per beat
blood density of 1060kg/m³

a) how much blood is in the body?

77 beats per min * 65ml per beat = 5,005 ml per minute

5,005ml * 1l/1000ml = 5.0005 Liters.

I'm not sure on how to solve for question b.

Answer:

(a) Blood in the body is 77*65 = 5005 ml

(b) On average, mass of blood does the heart pump with each heart beat is 68.9 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : At a resting pulse rate of 77 beats per minute, the human heart typically pumps about 65 mL of blood per beat. Blood has a denstity of 1060 kg / m3. Circulating all of the blood in the body through the heart takes about 1 min for a person at rest

To Find:  (a) How much blood is in the body?

(b) On average, what mass of blood does the heart pump with each heart beat?

Solution :

Since we are given that heart beats per minute =77

And Heart pumps about 65 mL of blood per beat

(a) So, blood in the body is 77*65 = 5005 ml

Since mass = volume * density

⇒ so,  mass of blood does the heart pump with each heart beat = volume * density

⇒mass =  [tex]65 ml *1060kg/m^{3}[/tex]

[tex]1ml = 10^{-6} m^{3}[/tex]

Thus 65 ml =  [tex]65*10^{-6} m^{3}[/tex]

⇒mass =  [tex]65*10^{-6} m^{3} *1060kg/m^{3}[/tex]

⇒mass =  [tex]68900*10^{-6} [/tex]

⇒mass =  [tex]689*10^{-4} [/tex]

⇒mass =  [tex]689*10^{-3}*10^{-1}[/tex]

⇒mass =  [tex]68.9*10^{-3} kg[/tex]

⇒mass =  [tex]68.9grams[/tex]

(b) On average, mass of blood does the heart pump with each heart beat is 68.9 g
