Response Details:


 Given that
 Average gauge pressure in the vein (P- Po) = 1.23*104 Pa
 Specific gravity of glucose solution ρglucose= 1.02*103 kg/m3
 We know that
       gauge pressure P-Po = ρgh
   The minimum height h of the bag in order to infuse glucose into the vein is
                   h = (P-Po)/( ρglucose g)
                       =( 1.23*104 Pa )/((1.02*103 kg/m3)(9.80 m/s2))
                        =----m
I hope this helps! Best of luck with the rest of your coursework.
