WHY CAN'T THE GOVERNMENT SIMPLY PRINT MONEY AND MAKE EVERYBODY A MILLIONAIRE?





  In todays digital world, the government can easily deposit one million dollars in everybody's bank account and make us millionaires instantly.  but it is not practically feasible.  Why ?  To explain it,I will go to an aid of an equation as usual.  First let us understand the factors that constitute the equation.  

1. M= Total amount of money supplied among the people. For our calculation, let us take M as 100 dollars.  M is also the total amount of money present  the economy.
2. V =  velocity of money. That is, the number of times the M {100 dollars} is used {passed} among the people in year.  In our case, let V= 10.
3. P= average price of a good or a service.  Let it be 5 dollars.
4. T = Total  number of transactions or number of goods and services sold and bought in a year.  Let it be 200. T is also the indicator of economic activity.

      M*V = Money supply * no. of times M used
    Now the product M* V is the total annual spending by the people.
                
   P*T = price * number of item sold and it is the total annual sales revenue.

   Logically, annual spending must be equal to annual sales revenue.
    M*V = P*T
   100*10 = 5*200  [our example]
     1000   =  1000

This equation is called exchange equation.  some says, it is the corner stone of economy.  Both the product MV or PT represents GDP, the gross domestic product. GDP is the total monetary value of all the finished goods and services within a country's border.

   Now coming to our question, if huge money is pumped in, what will happen?
 again M*V = P*T
Here we increase M.  But V and T will not increase immediately because habits die hard.  People spending and saving habits will not change easily.  Hence P- price level should increase to balance the equation.  So more money supply will lead to inflation of prices.
[If V and T are constants then M is proportional to P] 

  Huge money supply will lead to hyper inflation and the money will not be worth the paper it is printed on,
  only hard earned money will keep our economy healthy.

Your heart -you do not know

  Size and Location: The human heart is roughly the size of a clenched fist and is located slightly to the left of the center of the chest. Despite its relatively small size, the heart plays a crucial role in pumping blood throughout the entire body. Heartbeat Variability: The heart does not beat at a constant rate. The interval between heartbeats can vary, and this variability is considered a sign of a healthy heart. Factors such as breathing, emotions, and physical activity influence the heartbeat. Electrical Conduction: The heart's contractions are controlled by electrical impulses. The sinoatrial (SA) node, often called the "natural pacemaker," generates electrical signals that regulate the heartbeat and coordinate the pumping of blood. Blood Pumping Capacity: On average, the human heart pumps about 2,000 gallons (or 7,570 liters) of blood each day. Over a lifetime, this amounts to pumping enough blood to fill several Olympic-sized swimming pools. Heart Chambers and V...

THE WORK HORSE "="

    One cannot think of  a mathematical step without 'is equal to ' .  It balances right hand side and left hand side.  It aids simplification and manipulation of a mathematical expression. example: 2(A+B)  = C 2A+2B  = C         2A = C-2B           A = C-2B/ 2   In an electronic calculator,  the pressing of ' = " sign executes an asthmatic expression  or simply calculates.       In computer languages, it plays very important role.                                                                 A = B   When a computer looks at this expression, the value stored in the location named B is just transferred to the storage named A .  After execution both A and B will have the same value an...

How does your smart phone detect motion, steps, rotation, and location?

 How it works-1  An accelerometer in a smartphone is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device that measures acceleration and tilt. It works by detecting changes in motion by measuring the vibration or acceleration of the device. The accelerometer consists of a small mass suspended on a spring inside a sealed chamber. When the device is subjected to acceleration, the mass moves relative to the device, causing a change in capacitance that can be measured and processed by the smartphone's hardware. The accelerometer measures acceleration in three dimensions (x, y, and z) and provides data that the smartphone's software can use to determine the device's orientation, detect motion, and track changes in velocity and acceleration. The accelerometer is used for a variety of purposes in a smartphone, including screen rotation, motion tracking for games and fitness apps, and detecting the position of the device for navigation and location services. Additionally, it can be used t...
