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.

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

CASINO'S GAME

           Let us find out how the casino survives with mathematics.      Say, your friend invite you for a game of dice.  You must bet (wager) 2 dollars.  If you roll 'six' you will get back 8 dollars.  The game will go on for 30 rounds.  All sounds good.      The probability of rolling 'six' is 1/6.  Since the game will be played for 30 times, the 'expected win' is 30*1/6 = 5.  That is, you are expected to win 5 rounds out of 30.  Hence your gain will be 5 * 8 =40 dollars.  ok.  This also implies that you will loose 25 rounds.  Hence your loss will be 25*2 =50 dollars.  Your net gain will be gain-less = 40-50 = -10 dollars. For 30 rounds, the loss is -10 dollars, Hence, for one round =-10/30 = -1/3 dollars.  There will be a loss of -1/3 or 0.33 dollars per round.  It is not a fair game.     Let us make a simple formula to calculate  'Pay out per round\. The probability for a win = p The pay-out in case of win = V No. of rounds = n The expect
