HOW BIG IS YOUR TV?

      

                  ADVT:  HOME PROJECTOR IN AMAZON         

         Draw the 1cm line and extend it by another cm.  It just becomes double (2cm).  Now draw a square having each side 1cm.  It is area is 1square cm.  Now, double each side.  The area will become 2*2 =4 sq.cm.  When the sides are doubled, the area increases four times.  Make a cube having a 1cm length in all directions. Its volume is 1 cubic cm. Double each side. Now its volume is 2*2*2 =8 cubic cm.  The volume has increased by 8 times. That is scaling. That is the dimension.

SOCIAL DISTANCING:
    If you are in a queue (one dimension) of people spaced about 0.5 meters apart, then the number of people standing within twenty meters is about 20/0.5 =40.
   But if you are in a two-dimensional crowd of people again spaced about 0.5 meters apart, then the number of people in the square of 20 meters length(each side) is 20/0.5*20/0.5 =1600.  If a flock of birds, flying in three dimensions is spaced about 0.5 meters apart, then the number of birds in the cubic space of side 20 meter is (20/0.5) *(20/0.5)*(20/0.5)=64000. A massive number.  As the dimension increases, the 'space' increases many-fold.  From 40 to 1600 to 64000.

Mass multiplies:
    10cm *10cm*10cm cube of water equals one liter and weighs one kg. So what about a 1m*1m*1m cube of water?  1m is ten times as long as 10cm. So, a 1m*1m*1m cube has volume 10*10*10 =1000 liters and weighs 1000 kg.  That is why the water bed cannot be lifted without draining it.  Also note, when sides increase 10 times, the mass increases 1000 times.
   Now, compare lizard and giant lizard-Godzilla. See, how the volume and mass have scaled.

Scaling in TV size:
   The TV size is measured by the length of its diagonal.A32 inch TV has face diagonal length of 32 inches. Its width will be 27.9 inches, its height 15,7inch, and the area 438 square inch.
   A 65 inch TV has a width of 56.7 inches and a height of 31.9 inches. All are doubled compared to 32 inch TV. But the area is 1809 square inches. The area has increased more than four times. Hence the 65 inch TV will be equal to four 32 inch TV. Hence the price also will increase four times. That is the Math of TV size and price.

NOTE: If you happened to drink beer with your friend and if he holds a glass that is double the size of your glass, he will not be drinking double the quantity of beer but eight times the quantity you drink. So do not believe your eyes; believe the math.

THE EARTH, A SUPER ORGANISM

     JOIN MY COURSE: "Become a programmer in a day with python"       A man called 'love lock' (what a name) proposed a theory called Gaia theory, named after Greek Goddess.      It says, "Earth is a self-regulating organism like a human being.  The organic life in it interacts with in-organic matter and maintains atmosphere, temperature and environment".  Hence the earth is still suitable for the life to thrive.      Imagine, in a particular place, there are lot of flowers.  Some flowers are white and some are darkly coloured.  We know, white reflects light and heat while dark absorbs the same.  White flowers can thrive in hot climate.  But dark flowers requires cold climate.  The absorption and reflection balances and the environment reaches average, warm temperature at which both the flowers can co-exist.  This is the essence of "Gaia" theory.      On our earth, the oxygen constitute 20% of the atmosphere.  The oxygen level is always mai

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
