Answer

a) $P=1.9\times 10^4~Pa$ b) The pressure from the blood exerts additional force on blood vessel walls in the brain.

Work Step by Step

a) $h=1.85~m$ $\rho=1060~kg/m^3$ $g=9.8~m/s^2$ $P=\rho g h$ $P=(1060~kg/m^3)(9.8~m/s^2)(1.85~m)=1.9\times10^4~Pa$ b) The pressure from the blood exerts additional force on blood vessel walls in the brain.
