Que Rain is falling vertically with a speed of 35 m / sec. A woman rides a bicycle with a speed of 12 m / sec in east to west direction. What is the direction in Which she should hold her umbrella and also find the velocity of rain with respect to her. |
|
Answer» She should hold the umbrella a little inclined towards the west from the vertical. The drops which are falling a little ahead of the current position of the woman, will fall on her, because she moves in that direction. relative velocity of the rain drops wrt cyclist the magnitude of relative velocity the rain drops wrt woman direction of relative velocity of the rain drops = So the cyclist should hold the umbrella at 18.92 deg to the vertical in the forward direction. |

List and explain the people who contributed to the failure of Banqiao dam,List the causes of the failure of Banqiao dam. |
|
Answer» The Banqiao Reservoir Dam (along with 63 other dams) in the Henan province of China failed in 1975, killing an estimated 171 000 people (although some reports suggest the number could be as high as 230 000). When the dam failed, it destroyed the homes millions of people and is considered the largest dam failure in history. In August 1975, the region experienced an extreme flood, resulting in quantities of water falling that had not been considered during the construction of the dam. More than a year's worth of rain fell in only 24 hours, and the dam failed on August 8. Early on August 8, the dam was breached and 700 million cubic meters of floodwater was released, flooding communities and homes downstream. After this burst, a chain reaction began and the other 61 reservoirs located in the area collapsed—releasing another six billion cubic meters of floodwater. The water covered an area equal to 10,000 square kilometers. The failure to plan and account for extreme floodwaters resulted in the immediate death of 26,000 as a result of the water itself. 145 000 more people died as a result of epidemics and famine following the flood. |

which is not correct about the schottky defect |
|
Answer» If in an ionic crystal of type A+B− an equal number of cations and anions are missing from their lattice sites so that electrical neutrality, as well as stoichiometry, is maintained, then, this defect is called a Schottky Defect. The presence of holes causes the density of the crystal to decrease. It is a vacancy defect (due to missing ions) and also a stoichiometric defect, as the ratio of the number of cations and anions remains the same. The energy needed to form a Schottky defect is very less but the production of lattice defects of Schottky is an endothermic process. Hence the lattice energy increases. The defect increases the electrical conductivity of the solid due to a migration of the ions into the holes. |

Rule) \(= \lim\limits_{x\to0} \frac{12^x (log 12)^2 - 3^x (log3)^2 -4^x(log)^2}{-x\, sin x + 2cosx}\) (By using D.L.H. Rule) \(= \frac{(log12)^2 - (log3)^2-(log4)^2}{2}\) \(= \frac{(log 3 + log 4)^2-(log3)^2 - (log4)^2}{2}\) \((\because log12 = log(3 \times 4) = log 3 + log 4)\) \(= \frac{2log3 \,log4}{2}\) \(= log3 \,log4\) \(\therefore \lim\limits _{x\to 0} \frac{12^x - 3^x - 4^x+1} {x\, sinx}= log3\,log4 \) |
