Problem

Compare the blood pressure in the head of an adult giraffe and an adult human

p_{h1}=120\;\mathrm{mm}Hg

and in the giraffe

p_{g1}=280\;\mathrm{mm}Hg,the

density of the blood of both animals is

ρ=1050\;\mathrm{kg}\cdot m

. Consider only the case where both the human and giraffe are standing. The speed of the flow of the blood is to be assumed constant.
