Blood pressure is usually measured by wrapping a closed air-filled jacket equipped with a pressure gage around the upper arm of a person at the level of the heart. Using a mercury manometer and a stethoscope, the systolic pressure (the maximum pressure when the heart is pumping) and the diastolic pressure (the minimum pressure when the heart is resting) are measured in mmHg. The systolic and diastolic pressures of a healthy person are about 130 mmHg and 90 mmHg, respectively, and are indicated as 130/90. Express both of these gage pressures in kPa, psi, and meter water column. Take the densities of water and mercury to be 1000 kg/m3 and 13,600 kg/m3, respectively.
