The change in sound heard through the stethoscope during blood pressure measurements is primarily due to the Korotkoff sounds, which occur as blood begins to flow through the brachial artery when the occluding pressure of the cuff is released. As the cuff pressure decreases, these sounds transition from muffled to distinct tapping noises, indicating the systolic blood pressure when the first sound is heard and the diastolic pressure when the sounds disappear. This method allows healthcare providers to accurately gauge blood pressure by listening for these auditory cues.

How the pressure measurements related to weather prediction?

Pressure measurements help meteorologists understand the movement of high and low pressure systems which are key factors in shaping the weather. High pressure typically brings fair weather while low pressure is associated with cloudy, wet conditions. Monitoring changes in pressure over time can help predict the movement of weather systems and the likelihood of precipitation.

How are pressure measurements related to weather prediction?

Decreasing pressure indicates stormy weather. Increasing Pressure indicates better weather.


How does pressure change with pipe diameter?

As pipe diameter increases, pressure decreases. This is because the same amount of fluid is flowing through a larger area, resulting in lower pressure.


What is pressure in physical change?

Pressure is not a change, it is a characteristic.


Do you need to change your filter cartridge if there is no pressure in the filter?

If you can blow through the filter with no constrictions it's fine.


How would a sedimentary rock change to a metamorphic rock?

Through metamorphism, as a result of increase in pressure and/or temperature.


What is a direct change from a solid to a gas?

Sublimation is the direct change from a solid to a gas without going through the liquid phase. This process occurs when the solid's vapor pressure exceeds the atmospheric pressure at a specific temperature.


Why does pressure not change when viscous fluid passes through varying cross sectional area?

How do you change high temperature refrigerant and high pressure refrigerant in to low temperature refrigerant and low pressure refrigerant?

You cool it and run it through a metering devise.


Why does pressure drop when transmitted through a tube of grease but not through a tube of oil?

There will be a pressure drop in both. But there will be more of a pressure drop in a grease tube due to the density of the fluid. If you look at the darcy-weisbach equation density is on the top, therefore the more dense the fluid is the more change in pressure there will be.
