(N/A) The pressure $P$ at a depth $h$ below the surface of a liquid of density $\rho$ is given by the formula:
$P = P_a + \rho gh$
Where:
$P_a$ is the atmospheric pressure at the surface of the liquid.
$\rho$ is the density of the liquid.
$g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.
$h$ is the depth of the point from the liquid surface.

$A$ healthy adult of height $1.7 \,m$ has an average blood pressure $(BP)$ of $100 \,mm$ of $Hg$. The heart is typically at a height of $1.3 \,m$ from the foot. Take the density of blood to be $10^3 \,kg/m^3$ and note that $100 \,mm$ of $Hg$ is equivalent to $13.3 \,kPa$ (kilo pascals). The ratio of $BP$ in the foot region to that in the head region is close to:
