Asked by Uri
Suppose you measure a standing person's blood pressure by placing the cuff on his leg 0.470 m below the heart. Calculate the pressures you would observe if the pressures at the heart are 119 over 80 mm Hg. Assume there is no loss of pressure due to resistance in the circulatory system (a reasonable assumption, since major arteries are large).

760mmHG is equvalent to 13.6*.760 m =10.34mH2O
so add .470/10.34 *760mmHg to each of the readings. I get about 34.6mmHg added.
