An adventurous archaeologist crosses between two rock cliffs by slowly going hand over hand along a rope stretched between the cliffs. He stops to rest at the middle of the rope. The rope will break if the tension in it exceeds 3.00×104 N. Our hero’s mass is 85.0 kg. Part A: If the angle θ is 13.0 ∘, find the tension in the rope (answer in form T= ? N. Part B: What is the smallest value the angle θ can have if the rope is not to break?

B) During a ventricle contraction, the average pressure pushing blood into the aorta is 100 mmHg. What is this pressure in Pascals? (use the density of mercury at 14 g/ml and the acceleration due to gravity of 10 m/s^2)
C) During a contraction, the heart pumps 75 ml of blood into the Aorta. Given the pressure above, how much work is done (in Joules) on the blood by the heart during a contraction?
D) Assuming a heart rate of 60 beats per minute, how many Calories (kilocalories) are burned just circulating blood during a day. (Take the approximation of 4 Joules per calorie.)
