What is the approximate dead space of a normal 70-kg man breathing through a tube that has a radius of 5 mm and a length of 100 cm?

A. 150 mL

B. 180 mL

C. 230 mL

D. 280 mL

E. 350 mL

I think C

we should add dead space from the tube, that is pi*R*R *lengh = 3.14*0.5*0.5*100=nearly 80

so total dead space = 150+80= 230 (i round it)

Thx

When robin082006 mentioned pi, I thought that there must be something complicated. Actually, everything is simple: it's the number that equals 3.142. below is the formula for measuring the volume of cylinder. I really hope we won't deal with other shapes.

My God, I have calculated 3x5x5x1000=75000mm3=75ml

but can't find this answer, then pick 150ml

forget to add them together
