If `|hata-hatb|=sqrt(2)` then calculate the value of `|hat a+sqrt(3)hatb|`.

Answer» Let `theta` be the angle between `hata & hatb` then
`|hata-hatb|=sqrt(1^(2)+1^(2)-2(1)(1)costheta)=sqrt(2)rArr cos theta=0`
`|hata+sqrt(3)hatb|=sqrt(1+3+2sqrt(3)cos theta)=sqrt(1+3)=2`
14702.

If vectors `hata, hatb, hatc` are in space such that `hata.hatb=hatb.hatc=hatc.hata=1/2`, then `(hataxxhatb).(hataxx(hatbxxhatc))` is equal toA. `1/(sqrt(2))`B. `-1/(sqrt(2))`C. `1/(2sqrt(2))`D. `-1/(2sqrt(2))`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`:.(hataxxhatb).{(hata.hatb)hatb-(hata.hatb)hatc}=0-(hata.hatb)[(hata, hatb, hatc)]`
`=-1/2xx1/(sqrt(2))`
`:.[(hata, hatb, hatc)]^(2)=|(1, 1/2, 1/2),(1/2, 1, 1/2),(1/2, 1/2, 1)|=1/2`

A load impedance, (200 + j0) Ω is to be matched to a 50 Ω lossless transmission line by using a quarter wave line transformer (QWT). The characteristic impedance of the QWT required is _________

Answer»

For Quarter wave line transformer

\(Z_0^2\) = \(Z_{in}\) . \(Z_L\)

\(Z_0^2\) = 50 x 200

\(Z_0\) = 100  \(\Omega\)

14704.

All transmission line section in Figure, have a characteristic impedance R0 + j0. The input impedance Zin equals(a) 2/30 (b) 0 (c) 3/20 (d) 20  

Answer»

Correct option (b) R0

Explanation:

For λ/4 line, zin1 = z20/zL = R20/R0/2 = 2R0

For λ/2 line, zL2 = 2R0

For λ/8 line, zL = (2R0)|| 2R0

= R0

For transmission line of length l, zin  = z0[(zL + jz0tanβl)/(z0 + jzLtanβl)]

l = λ/8, zin = z0[(zL + jz0)/(z0 + jzL)]

zin = R0[(R0 + jR0)/(R0 + jR0)] = R0

14705.

A transmission line of 50 Ω characteristic impedance is terminated with a 100 Ω resistance. The minimum impedance measured on the line is equal to (a) 0 Ω (b)25 Ω (c) 50 Ω(d)100 Ω

Answer»

Correct option (b)25 Ω

Explanation:

z0 = 50Ω

zL = 100Ω

zL > z

zin(min) = z20/zL

= (50 x 50)/100 = 25Ω

14706.

The capacitance per unit length and the characteristic impedance of a lossless transmission line are C and Z0 respectively. The velocity of a travelling wave on the transmission line is (a) Z0C (b) 1/(Z0C) (c) Z0/C (d)C/Z0

Answer»

Correct option (b)1/(Z0C)

Explanation:

z0 = √(L/C), z20 = L/C

velocity(V) = 1/√(LC) = 1/√((z20C)(C)) = 1/z0C

14707.

A lossless transmission line having 50 Ω characteristic impedance and length λ⁄4 is short circuited at one end and connected to an ideal voltage source of 1V at the other end. The current drawn from the voltage sources is (a) 0 (b)0.02 A (c) ∞ (d)None of the these

Answer»

Correct option (a) 0

Explanation:

For quarter wave transformer (λ⁄4)

zin = z20/zL

zL = 0 (short circuit) 

zin = z20/0 = ∞ (open circuit) 

The current drawn from the voltage source 

Is = Vs/zin = Vs/∞ = 0

Trace the thoughts that went on in the mind of the narrator when picture after picture was put up and sold at the auction.

Answer»

The author was enthusiastically participating in the bid at Christie with very little money on him. He sailed smooth for a long time raising the stakes on many paintings and carefully staying behind other competitors. It was fun watching till he got trapped in a net, set by his own tongue. When one particular painting was offered for 4000 guineas, the bidders maintained an uncomfortable silence when the author heard himself foolishly saying “and fifty”. The auctioneer banged the hammer finalizing the deal in the narrator’s favour. 

It was then the narrator realized with alarm that he had no money on him. Suddenly he lost interest in fun- bidding. He started thinking fast for a way out of the tight comer he had created for himself. Many small and big paintings were offered and sold out fast. The Barbizon pictures were selling fast like hot cakes for 2000 to 3000 guineas. The author was running over the names of friends, relatives and even money lenders who might bail him out of the tight comer. He even speculated on the possibility of confessing his poverty to the staff of Christie and request them to put up the picture again for sale. Such a genuine mistake could have been rectified at the early stages of auction.

As he had enthusiastically participated in the bid for many paintings, the auctioneers wouldn’t buy his justification for the “genuine mistake”. As bidders stood in a queue to hand in their cheques / cash to collect their paintings, the narrator stood deliberately at the end. He never felt such a fool or had colder feet all his life.

Describe Mary Kom’s personal experiences during her first International Championship match from the time of selection to winning the medal.

Answer»

Mary Kom flew to Pennsylvania, USA to compete under 48 kg World Women’s Boxing Championship in 2001. On landing, she rushed to the sports arena and weighed. She was lucky as she could rest enough to face her opponent the following day. As soon as she won her opponent in the first match, she gained enormous confidence. Her fear of facing new opponents in the ring vanished completely. While her team-mates went on losing one after another, she went on to reach the finals.

She was even hopeful of winning gold. She had defeated Nadia Hokmi of Poland by RSC. She also defeated Jamie Behai of Canada by 21-9. The greatest disadvantage just before finals was that she lost her appetite. She was not accustomed to American food. However hard she tried, she could not eat. She lost her weight. She was just 46 kg before the finals. This cost her, her long cherished dream of gold medal and she lost to Hula Sahin of Turkey 13-5. She won her silver but was very sad.But the biggest thing she took home from Pennsylvania was not the medal but the conviction that she could take on any boxer in the world.
