what is the answer to these question?

Question

you have a patient that is currently expererience extreme discomfort after eating a large quantity of beans. the pain is being caused by the build up of gas pressure in the lagre intestines. if you were able to put a pressure gauge into the the patient, which of the following would be a reasonable pressure that you might observe?

a.) 860 pounds pers square inch

b.) 860 pascal

c.)860 atmospheres

d.) 860 torr

Answer 1

_________________________________________________________
Atmospheric pressure is about 101000 pascal

Pressure inside human body is nearly equal to atmospheric pressure

(a)860 pounds per square inch =58.93569*10^5 pascal

This cannot be gas pressure inside the intestines,it is very large pressure, it is about 58 times atmospheric pressure

_____________________________________
(b) This is not correct answer. The pressure in intestines has to be nearly equal to atmospheric pressure.

860 pascal, is less then 1% of atmospheric pressure

_______________________________________
(c)This is not correct answer, pressure inside intestines cannot be 860 atmospheres. It is very high pressure

_______________________________________________

(d)THIS IS CORRECT ANSWER,

860 torr=860/760=1.13 times atmospheric pressure,this is slightly greater than atmospheric pressure. It may cause exterme discomfort

Answer 2

First off, try to eliminate what is obviously a wrong answer.

Think about (a.) 860 psi. This would be the weight of a piano pushing on an area 1" by 1". (Or to put it into context, the average human exerts about 15psi.)

Think about (c.) 860 atmospheres. The pressure of one atmosphere is approx 14 psi. So 860 atm = 860*14psi. Even higher pressure than (a.)

So you're left with b.) and d.)

1 Torr = 133 Pascal = 0.019 PSI
860 Torr = 16 PSI (the feeling of someone stepping on your foot).

860 Pascal = .124 PSI

My guess would be 860 Pa. When you look at the area of the large intestine, even 0.124 pounds per square inch adds up in a hurry.

Answer 3

I'll go for (b)---860 pascal which is equivalent to about 0.12 pounds per square inch.(860 Pa x (1 Lb/in^2)/6895 Pa) ANS.

860 pounds per square inch is TOO BIG! This will cause you to burst open! (Whew! just imagine what a mess will that be!)
The same with 860 atmospheres---equivalent to 12,685 pounds/in^2 ----WAY TOO BIG!!!!
The same with 860 torr which equivalent to about 17 pounds/in^2, a little higher than atmospheric pressure of 14.7 pounds/in^2
