The size of small arteries also affects the blood pressure. When the muscular walls of arteries are relaxed, or dilated, the pressure of the blood flowing through

windlaw of Buys Ballot. In 1857, Buys Ballots formulated a law identifying the relationship between wind and pressure distribution. The law states that if an observer stands having wind on his back, then in northern hemisphere to the left will be low pressure, on the right high pressure. Vice versa in southern hemisphere to the left will be high pressure, to the right lie low pressure. 3. How do we determine the windforce and direction on board of ships? We can determine the windforce and direction
