This method of examination ranges from focusing on the patient's general appearance (general state of health, including posture, mannerisms, and grooming) to more detailed observations, including body contour, gait, symmetry, visible injuries and deformities, tremors, rashes, and color changes. Inspection will be done before palpation or percussion so that there will be no changes made to the appearance of the skin.

Air discharges downward in the pipe and then outward between the parallel disks. Considering negligible density change in the air, derive a formula for the acceleration of air at point $A$, which is a distance $r$ from the center of the disks. Express the acceleration in terms of the constant air discharge $Q$, the radial distance $r$, and the disk spacing $h$. If $D=10 \mathrm{~cm}, h=0.6 \mathrm{~cm}$, and $Q=0.380 \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{s}$, what are the velocity in the pipe and the acceleration at point $A$ where $r=20 \mathrm{~cm}$?
