Question

1) Circulation:

What is the cardiac output for a person whoseheart beats 70 beats/min with a stroke volume of 70 mL?

2) Bioinstrumentation:

An unknown resistor (R3) is connected in series with the two other resistors (R1=20 ohm, R2=25 ohm) across a 15 V battery in the order R1 -> R2 -> R3. An ammeter, which is placed in between the battery and R1, reads a current of 200 mA.

What is...

a- the total resistance of the circuit?

b- the resistance of the unknown resistor, R3?

c- the total current?

d- the current through each resistor?

e- the voltage drop across each resistor?

(Please draw and label the circuit in the question)

Explanation / Answer

1. cardiac output = heart rate * stroke volume

= 70 * 70 = 140 liter / minute

2nd question is not from biology. is more of physics
