Giraffe Blood Pressure: Calculating Gauge Pressure at the Brain

[chandangang]

In a giraffe with its head 2m above its heart , and its heart 2m above its feet, the hydrostatic gauge pressure in the blood at its heart is 250 torr . Assume that the giraffe stands upright and the blood density is 1.06 * 1000kg/cubic metre.In torr find the (gauge) blood pressure at the brain.
