\( (\sec A-\cos A)(\cot A+\tan A)=\sec A \tan A \)

Answer»

(sec A − cos A) (cot A + tan A)

= sec A . cot A + sec A . tan A - cos A.cot A - cosA . tan A

\(\frac{1}{cos\,A}\) . \(\frac{cos\,A}{sin\,A}\) + sec A . tan A - cos A . \(\frac{cos\, A}{sin\,A}-cos\,A.\frac{sin\,A}{cos\,A}\)

\(\frac{1}{sin\,A}-sin\,A-\frac{cos^2A}{sin\,A}+sec\,A.tan\,A\)

\(\frac{1-sin^2\,A-cos^2\,A}{sin\,A}\) + sec A . tan A

\(\frac{1-1}{sin\,A}\) + sec A . tan A

(∵ sin2A + cos2A = 1)

= sec A . tan A

If 3 article are sold for the cost of 5 articles then the profit percentage is

Answer»

let CP of one article be = x
CP of 5 articles = 5x

SP of 3 articles = 5x 
SP of one article = 5x/3

So the gain = (0.66x/x)*100 = 66%.

3.

it was calculated that a shell when fired from a gun with a certain velocity and at an angle of elevation 5 pi/ 36 rad should strike a given target in the same horz. plane . in actual practice , it was found that a hill just prevented the trajectory . at what angle of elevation should the gun be fired to hit the target .a) 5 pi/36 rad.                                                                                         b) 11 pi/36 radc) 7 pi/36 rad                                                                                          c) 13 pi/36 rad

Answer»

There are two angles of projection for the same horizontal range, i.e; theta and 90 - theta with the horizontal. The projectile will cover the same horizontal range whether it is thrown at an angle of theta or 90 - theta with the horizontal. 

Here when the gun is fired, the shell moves with a certain velocity and the angle of elevation is 5pi/36 = 25 deg 

To overcome the hill which prevents the trajectory, the shell be elevation at an angle of 90 - 25 = 65 deg = 13pi/36, to cover the same range.

What are the different ways in which you can work with color in MAYA?

Answer»

You can work with color in Maya in so many different ways: 

· Change the basic color of an object by adjusting the color attribute of a material applied to the object. See Set a color for the object for a visual demonstration. 

· Apply a texture as a color map to the material’s color attribute. See Map a texture to any of the material attributes for a visual demonstration, and Map a 2D or 3D texture to a material for more information. 

· Use a Ramp Shader for extra control over the way color changes with light and view angle. You can simulate a variety of exotic materials and tweak traditional shading in subtle ways. 

· Expand, enhance, or manipulate colors in applied textures using utilities such as Blend Colors, Clamp, Gamma Correct, and so forth. For example, you can blend colors, adjust contrast, and convert HSV to RGB. For a description of each of the utilities and what you can use them for, see Utility nodes.

8.

What steps will you require to create true reflections?

Answer»

1. Create a sphere and a plane, and position the sphere over the plane. Create a light to illuminate both surfaces. 

2. Create a specular material (a Phong or PhongE) and assign it to the sphere. The sphere is reflected in the plane. 

3. Create a second material and assign it to the plane. The plane reflects the sphere. 

4. Make each surface a different color so you can see the reflection of one in the other. 

5. In the Raytracing Quality section of the Render Settings window, turn on Raytracing. This tells Maya to raytrace any surface whose Visible in Reflections/Refractions is toggled on. These attributes are on by default for all surfaces, but raytracing only works when you turn on Raytracing in the Render Settings window. To learn more about the Render Settings, see Render Settings window. 

6. Perform a test render to visualize the results. If you want the sphere to reflect the plane, open the plane’s Attribute Editor and turn on Render Stats > Visible in Reflections. To test iterations of a scene, see Visualize interactively with IPR

10.

Elaborate Anisotropy

Answer»

Anisotropy reflects and transmits light with a directional bias and causes materials to appear rougher or glossier in certain directions. The default value for Anisotropy is 0, which means 'isotropic.' As you move the control towards 1.0, the surface is made more anisotropic in the U axis.

11.

What are the uses of Specular Maps?

Answer»

Some surfaces are shinier than others (for example a wet fish has a shinier surface than a dry leaf). By mapping a texture to the Specular attribute of an object’s material, you create a specular map which lets you describe how shine appears on objects (by controlling highlight).Shiny objects reflect light directly; matte objects diffuse light. Specular highlights show the places on the object where the light sources are reflected at consistent angles; reflections on an object show, among other things, light bounced from surrounding objects. Specular highlights depend directly on the view (camera), not the position of the light, like diffuse shading does. The size of a specular highlight on a surface makes the surface look either flat or shiny. Note: Only materials with specular attributes (Anisotropic, Blinn, Phong, and PhongE) have surface highlights. The specular highlight is the white shiny glow on the material.

12.

What is the importance of Roughness?

Answer»

Roughness controls the glossiness of the specular reflections. The lower the value, the sharper the reflection. In the limit, a value of 0 will give you a perfectly sharp mirror reflection, while 1.0 will create reflections that are close to a diffuse reflection. You should connect a map here to get variation in the specular highlight.

Two protons are travelling. along the same straight path but in opposite directions. The relative velocity between the two is ………(a) c(b) \(\frac{C}{2}\)(c) 2c (d) 0

Answer»

Correct answer is (a) c

One of the velocity V1 = V; Other velocity V2 = -V

 Relative velocity (Vrel) = \(\frac{V_1 - V_2}{[1 + \frac{V^2}{C^2}]}\) = \(\frac{V- (-V)}{[1 + \frac{v^2}{C^2}]}\) = \(\frac{2v}{2}\)

V = C

Vrelative = C

A particle of mass m moves in the xy plane with a velocity v along the straight line AB. If the angular momention of the particle with respect to origin O is LA when it is at A and LB when it is at B, then ..........(a) LA = LB (b) LA < LB (c) LA > LB(d) The relationship between LA and LB depends uopn the slope of the line AB

Answer»

(a) LA = LB

Magnitude of L is, L = mvr sin ϕ = mvd 

d = r sin ϕ is the distance of closest approach of the particle so the origin, as ‘d’ is same for both particles. So, LA = LB

A man weights 70 kg. He stands on a weighing scale in a lift which is moving.1. upward with a uniform speed of 10 m/s.2. downward with an uniform acceleration of 5 m/s2.3. upward with an uniform accelerate of 5 m/s2. (Take g = 10m/s2). Find weight in each case.

Answer»

1. Weight W = mg

= 70 × 10 = 700 N.

2. W = mg – ma

= 70 × 10 – 70 × 5

= 700 – 350

= 350 N

3. W = mg + ma

= 70 × 10 + 70 × 5

= 700 + 350

= 1050N.

This question is based on the concept of geff i.e. the effective g. In such questions, go in the frame of the lift and find geff and then solve like a normal ground frame question by using geff instead of g.

1) As the lift is moving with a constant velocity, it already is an inertial frame and so geff = g

So, weight = 70*10 = 700 N

2) In the frame of lift, geff = 10-5 = 5 

So, weight = 70*5 = 350 N

3) In the frame of lift, geff = 10+5 = 15

So, weight = 70*15 = 1050 N

Hope it helps

Swimming is an interesting sport, and one that relaxes us also. Normally and average human being would drown in water.As a person goes inside water , the water exert a force on it in upwared direction. This force is called buyont froce. The force is given by V dg, where d is density of water, V is volume of body inside water and g is acceleration due to gravity. normally, this force is lesser than this weight. so the man pushes water to get an additional force on himself. this effort is known as swimming. assume water has a density of `1000 kg//m^(3)` By how many `m^(3)` should man increase his volume (by inflating his lungs) so that he can stay afloat without applying any force on waterA. `0.005 m^(3)`B. `0.004m^(3)`C. `0.003 m^(3)`D. `0.001 m^(3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
50 g =(0.045 +V)x1000xg
