Arterial blood pressure is frequently measured by inserting a catheter into the artery. Estimate the maximum error (expressed in mmHg) that may exist in this measurement due to the possible creation of a stagnation point at the catheter tip. Assume the density of blood to be 1060 kg/m3 and the peak velocity to be 110 cm/s. Make use of the steady-flow Bernoulli equation to obtain your answer.
