Highlight the contributions of Rome to World Civilization.

The splendor of Constantinople with its luxurious royal palaces, its libraries, its scholars familiar with the writings of Greeks 1 and Romans and its fascinating St. Sophia Cathedral are the legacies they have left behind.

However, in terms of the development of science and technology, there was no progress during this I period. The economies of the Empire’s provinces were in the hands of large local landowners. The small peasants always lived on the edge of poverty. The fundamental weakness of Byzantine Civilization stood exposed when the participants of Fourth Crusade pillaged it and I ruled it.

Answer»

In Athens, the pressure from below resulted in the replacement of both oligarchy’and tyranny by “democracy”. The law-making power in Athens was vested in an assembly open to all freemen. Judges and lower officials were chosen by lots. This arrangement was resented by ‘ the upper classes who considered democracy to be the rule of the mob.

A bubble of 1 cm radius is rising at a steady rate of 0.5. cm s-1 through a liquid of density 0.8 g cm-3. Calculate the coefficient of viscosity of the liquid. Neglect the density of air.

Answer»

Radius of the air bubble,

r = 1 cm

Density of air, ρ = 0

Density of liquid (viscous medium)

σ = 0.8 cm-3

Terminal velocity of air bubble,

v = -0.5 cm s-1

(The velocity has taken negative value, for the bubbles is moving upwards).

Now,

v = {2(ρ - σ)r2g}/{9η}

η = {2(R - σ)r2g}/{9} = {2(0 - 0.08) x (1)2 x 890}/{9 x (-0.5)}

= {2 x 0.08 x (1)2 x 890}/{9 x 0.5} 

= 348.44 Poise
