Vital Capacity of Lung Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Vital Capacity of Lung?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

VC = TV + IRV + ERV

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

VC = 10mL + 10mL + 12mL

Next Step Convert Units

∴

VC = 1E-5m³ + 1E-5m³ + 1.2E-5m³

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

VC = 1E-5 + 1E-5 + 1.2E-5

Next Step Evaluate

∴

VC = 3.2E-05m³

LAST Step Convert to Output's Unit

∴

VC = 32mL
