The length, height and thickness of a wall are 8 m, 4 m and 35 cm respectively. It contains one gate of size 3 m × 1 m and two windows of size 1.20 m × 1 m. Find the cost of building the wall at the rate of Rs 1500 per m3.

Answer»

Given :

Length of wall (l) = 8 m

Thickness of wall (b) = 35 cm 

= 0.35 m

Height of wall (h) = 4 m

Volume of wall = l × b × h

= 8 × 4 × 0.35

= 11.2 m3

Dimension of the gate in the wall 

= 2 m × 1 m × 0.35 ms [∵ Thickness of wall = 0.35 m]

∴ Volume of the gate in the wall 

= 2m × 1 m × 0.35 m = 0.7 m3

Measures of 2 windows in the wall 

= 1.20 m × 1 m × 0.35 m

Volume of 2 windows in the wall 

=2 × 1.2 × 1 × 0.35 = 0.84 m3

Volume of wall with out a gate and two windows

= 11.2 – (0.7 + 0.84)

= 9.66 m3

∵ Cost of building 1 m3 wall = Rs 1500

∴ Cost of building 9.66 m3 wall 

= 1500 × 9.66 = Rs 14490

∴ Hence cost of building the wall = Rs 14490

A rectangular sheet of paper, 44 cm× 20 cm, is rolled along its length to form a cylinder. Find the total surface area of the cylinder thus generated.

Answer»

We have,

Dimensions of rectangular sheet of paper = 44cm × 20cm

When this sheet of paper is rolled along its length,

Circumference of base becomes = 44 cm

By using the formula,

Circumference of base = 2πr

So, 2πr = 44

2 × 22/7 × r = 44

r = 44×7 / 44

= 7cm

Radius = 7cm

Height = 20 cm

∴ Total surface area of cylinder = 2πr (h+r)

= 2 × 22/7 × 7 (20 + 7)

A ray of light travels from an optically denser to rarer medium. The critical angle of the two media is ‘C’. What is the maximum possible deviation of the ray?

Answer»

The relation between angle of deviation and angle of incidence, angle of emergence and angle of prism is given by 

Angle of deviation = i1 + i2 – A

For maximum deviation, Angle of incidence (i1) = 90°

Angle of emergence (i2) = 90°

We know, μ = 1/ sin C . 1/ sin A/2 [Where C = Critical angle, A = Angle of prism]

∴ A = 2C

∴ Maximum deviation = i1 + i2 – A = 90 + 90 – 2C = 180 – 2C = n – 2C.

Physical Geography is related to various branches of science.

Answer»
  • Almost every discipline, under natural and social sciences is linked with geography.
  • Geomorphology, Climatology, Oceanography and Biogeography are the branches of physical geography.
  • Geomorphology studies landforms, rock types, processes of formation of rocks, landforms, etc. Therefore, it is related to geology.
  • Climatology studies elements of atmosphere such as temperature, winds, rainfall, humidity, natural disasters like cyclones, anticyclones, storms, etc. Therefore, it is related to meteorology.
  • Oceanography studies oceans and seas on the surface of the earth, ocean currents, ocean routes, etc. Therefore, it is related to Hydrology.
  • Biogeography studies the distribution of plants and animals, their species, ecosystems, etc. Therefore, it is related to biology.
  • Knowledge of mathematics is important for cartographic techniques, such as drawing of maps and diagrams. Similarly, knowledge of statistics is useful to do data analysis since various statistical techniques and hypotheses testing are used in data analysis.
  • Thus, physical geography is related to various branches of sciences.
120784.

Explain the nature of Geography in detail.

Answer»
  • Geography is the study of the earth as a home of man, and various phenomena related to it.
  • Therefore, geography is the study of the physical environment in relation to man. The physical environment has direct effect on cultural and social environments.
  • The earth is dynamic in nature. Hence, we find variations in its physical and cultural/social environments.
  • In geography we study the relation between the physical environment and production, distributions and their patterns and variations.
  • Geographers study the location, geographical phenomena, whether physical or human, which are highly dynamic and its causes.
  • Since geography is the study of space and time it makes geography dynamic in nature.
  • In geographical study, the geographer tries to answer questions like what, why, where and when.
120785.

Give geographical reasons:Geography is dualistic in nature.

Answer»
  • There are two contrasting approaches to study the subject of geography. They are possibilism and environmental determinism. This contrast in approaches is called as dualism in geography.
  • Some geographers are of the view that nature is more dominant than man. It is called environmental determinism. According to them, when we study geography, we study the earth. We study how natural resources have influence on economic activities, as well as food habits of people.
  • For example, in coastal areas fishing activity is more developed and fish is the main food of the people.
  • Some geographers are of opinion that man dominates the nature. It is called possibilism. According to them man can make changes in nature due to his intelligence.
  • For example, there are polyhouses even in polar areas, in which temperature is controlled artificially and vegetables are grown.
  • There are many other thinkers who have different approaches in geography.

Thus, the study of geography is dualistic in nature.

120786.

Give geographical reasons:Human Geography is multidisciplinary in nature.

Answer»
  • Human geography is the branch of geography dealing with human activities and their influence on culture, communities and economies.
  • In human geography every social science studies separately has interface with branch of human geography; because of their spatial attributes.
  • Social sciences like sociology, political science, economics, history and demography are very closely related with branches of human geography, such as social geography, political geography, economic geography and historical geography, respectively.
  • Since, we study varied branches of geography in human geography, it is said to be multidisciplinary in nature.

In Fig., m and n are two plane mirrors perpendicular to each other. Show that incident ray CA is parallel to reflected ray BD.

Answer»

Let normals at A and B meet at P. 

As mirrors are perpendicular to each other, therefore, BP || OA and AP || OB. 

So, BP ⊥ PA, i.e., ∠ BPA = 90° 

Therefore, ∠ 3 + ∠ 2 = 90° (Angle sum property) (1) 

Also, ∠1 = ∠2 and ∠4 = ∠3 (Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection) 

Therefore, ∠1 + ∠4 = 90° [From (1)] (2) Adding (1) and (2), we have 

∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠4 = 180° 

i.e., ∠CAB + ∠DBA = 180° 

Hence, CA || BD

In a Δ ABC, AB = AC andlA.= 50° find ∠B and ∠C.

Answer»

∠A+ ∠B + ∠C = 180° 

(Sum of the angles of a triangle is 180° ) 

50° +∠B + ∠B = 180° 

∠B = ∠C Base angles of an isosceles triangle 

50 + 2∠B= 180° 

2∠B = 180 – 50 

2∠B = 130° 

∠B = \(\frac{130^o}{2}\)

∠B = 65° 

∠B = ∠C = 65°
