Explanation / Answer

The systolic blood pressure is the pressure of blood in the arteries during contraction of the blood muscle, whereas the diastolic pressure , is the blood pressure when the heart muscle is in between beats.

a) 1 mm hg = 1 torr

so systolic = 120 torr

and diastolic = 80 torr

b) 1 mmHg = 0.00132 atm

systolic = 0.15789 atm

diastolic = 0.10526

c) 1 mm Hg = 0.00133 bar

systolic = 0.15999 bar

diastolic = 0.10666 bar

d) 1 mm Hg = 0.13332

systolic = 15.99868 kPa

diastolic =10.66579 kPa
