A healthy adult of height $1.7 \,m$ has an average blood pressure $( BP )$ of $100 \,mm$ of $Hg$. The heart is typically at a height of $1.3 \,m$ from the foot. Take, the density of blood to be $10^3 \,kg / m ^3$ and note that $100 \,mm$ of $Hg$ is equivalent to $13.3 \,kPa$ (kilo pascals). The ratio of $BP$ in the foot region to that in the head region is close to
