POSITIVE SIDE OF MONEY INFLATION

 

     Prices rise now and then.  Government announces dearness allowance for its employees (because goods are getting dearer).  Hence the income rises.  People's buying capacity increases.  Again the prices shoot up.  The cycle goes on and on, called vicious cycle.  The value of money goes down.  One has to pay higher price for the same product.  In economics, it is called "inflation" of money.

     Is inflation good?  Yes, to certain extent.
1. Income rise gives positive feeling to employees.  Hence productivity increases.

2. We get loans and pay EMI-equated monthly installments.  As the time progresses, due to inflation the value of EMI goes down.  We seems to pay less money as EMI.  It is a win-win situation for both the lender and the borrower.  We have seen people who paid 200 rupees as EMI and in due course their property value ballooned to two crore.

3. Prices can be frozen for ever.  But it is not welcome by politicians and administrators of the country.  Small inflation is definitely a "feel good factor".

4. A good example is electronic-technology.  Here technology has grown and also inflation has grown.  Hence, highly advanced product is available at unbelievable low prices.  Think of smart phones or even think of 'long distance call rate' then and now.

     But hyper-inflation is dangerous.  When the inflation goes out of bound, the money will not be worth the paper, it is printed on.

     In India, the average inflation rate is 7.7% per year.  Always try to maintain your income, above the inflation.
     Growth is good.  But the swelling is bad.  Hence a good inflation of money should border the growth.

LISSAJOUS FIGURES

  Definition:  "When a particle is subjected to two sine wave motion or two oscillatory motion at right angles, the particle describes lissajous figures".      We know sine wave motion and circular motion is basically same.  Hence we draw two circles A and B perpendicular to each other.  The circle B rotates twice faster than circle A.  That is, frequency of circle B is two times than that of A.        A particle at the intersection of two circles is subjected to two sine wave motion   A and B at 90 degree simultaneously.  The particle will describe figures depending on the frequency and phase of A and B .  In our case, the ratio of frequency is  1:2 and the two waves are in phase.        To draw lissajous figures :  A moving point in both the circles are chosen.   Here we should remember; during the time taken by the circle A to complete one rotation, circle B completes two.  Hence the points are marked on the circles according to their speed.  Then straight lines

THE PARABOLA

          A jet of water shooting from a hose pipe will follow a parabolic path.  What is the so special about parabola.    Y= x^2 Draw a graph for the above equation.  It will result in a parabola.  This parabola is also called unit parabola.  Any equation involving square will yield a parabola. Example:  Y = 2x^2 +3x+3 (also called quadratic equation)    X= 2 and -2, both  satisfies the equation 4 = X^2.  Parabolic equations always have two solutions.     Any motion taking place freely under gravity follows parabolic path. Examples:   An object dropped from a moving train,   A bomb dropped from flying plane,  A ball kicked upwards.      If a beam of light rays fall on the parabolic shaped mirror, they will be reflected and brought to focus on a point.  This fact is made use of in Dish Antenna, Telescope mirrors, etc.      Inverted parabola shape is used in the construction of buildings and bridges.  Because the shape is able to bear more weight.      A plane

DISORDER IS THE "ORDER OF THE DAY"

         Imagine a balloon full of air.  The air molecules are moving randomly inside the balloon.  Let us pierce the balloon with a pin.  The air rushes out.  Why should not the air molecules stay inside the balloon safely and ignore the little hole?  That is not the way the world works.  The molecules always "want to occupy as many states as possible".  Hence the air goes out in the open to occupy more volume.   The things always goes into disorder (entropy) and the disorder increases with time.  The above statement is what we call "second law of thermodynamics".      Consider a cup of coffee on the table. Suppose the heat from entire room flows to your cup of coffee, the coffee will boil and the rest of the room will freeze.  Freezing means bringing things to order and arrangement.  It violates the second law.  Hence it will never happen.  Hence heat must flow from high temperature to low temperature and not the other way.        The air molecules in y
