Explain different types of ease that a pattern maker should know of

Answer»

Ease: refers to the amount of roominess in a garment. Ease is the difference between the measurements of the body of the intended wearer and the measurements of the garment.

There are two kinds of ease fitting ease and design ease.

Fit ease: is in direct contact with the body and is responsible for the comfort factor and design ease of the garment is for aesthetic appearance. A garment must contain adequate ease beyond the actual measurements of the wearer to allow room for ordinary movements like walking, sitting, reaching out and even breathing. Ease in this context is called Fitting ease.

Design ease: is the extra style fullness added to the fitting ease. All the garments have fitting ease but design ease is optional as it is added purely for the sake of appearance and giving the garment its style.

Explain “line” with respect to the fit of apparels.

Answer»

Line: refers to the alignment of the structural lines of the garment with the natural lines of the body. Side seams of the garment should hang like a plumb line down the centre of the side of the body. It should be perpendicular to the floor. Centre front and centre back likewise should fall centre of the front and back of the body and be perpendicular to the floor. Darts and seams such as shoulder seams should visually appear to be straight lines that follow the body part they are intended to fit. Other seam lines should be gradually curving lines like necklines, waistlines, hiplines and armholes. Poor design or construction can result in an out of line garment. Even figure irregularities can distort the lines of the garment.

What are balance marks? Why are they important on a pattern?

Answer»

Balance Marks: Marks made on edges of complimentary pattern pieces that indicate corresponding seam line and area. They are a useful construction guide on all seams. However, balance marks are vital in a pattern if two pieces have different edge or shape that are required to be joined or where one seam line is longer or fuller than another. While doing pattern cutting make short pencil marks at the edge of the paper, copying them through all stages till the final pattern. On readymade paper patterns balance marks are indicated by triangles and are referred to as notches.

Write the reason for the anomalous behaviour of Nitrogen.

Answer»

1. Due to its small size, high electro negativity, high ionisation enthalpy and absence of d-orbitals. 

2. N2 has a unique ability to form pπ- pπ multiple bond whereas the heavier members of this group (15) do not form pπ- pπ bond, because their atomic orbitals are so large and diffused that they cannot have effective overlapping.

3. Nitrogen exists a diatomic molecule with triple bond between the two atoms whereas other elements form single bond in the elemental state. 

4. N cannot form dπ- dπ bond due to the absence of d-orbitals whereas other elements can.

17380.

What are the three types of grain lines in a fabric? How do the grain lines affect the estimation of fabric for garment? Explain.

Answer»

Three type of grains:

1. Length wise grain (straight grain)- It is oriented parallel with the warp threads and selvedge. This grain has very less stretch 

2. Cross grain- cross grain runs perpendicular to selvedge. It has more stretch than straight grain. 

3. Bias- It is at 45° to its warp and weft threads. Bias fabric have maximum stretch garments made on Bias have stretchability, graceful folds and drape

The various components of garments are cut according in the style, fit & design detail of garments. Lengths of the garments are cut length wise grain, bands cuffs collars are cut on cross wise grain. Some sleeves are cut bias flared styles are cut on bias. Some design detail are finished with shaped facing or bias facing. So in this way as per grain requirement of style affect the fabric estimation.

17381.

The lengthwise grain runs: a. Parallel to the selvedge of the fabric; this has the least amount of stretch. b. Perpendicular to the selvedge and has a little more stretch than the lengthwise grain. c. Diagonal on a woven fabric in which a true 45degree angle is formed. The bias has the greatest amount of stretch.

Answer»

Correct answer is

a. Parallel to the selvedge of the fabric; this has the least amount of stretch.

How will you purify metals by using iodine?

Answer»

(i) This method is based on the thermal decomposition of metal compounds which lead to the formation of pure metals. Titanium and zirconium can be purified using this method. For example, the impure titanium metal is heated in an evacuated vessel with iodine at a temperature of 550 K to form the volatile titanium tetra-iodide.(TiI4). The impurities are left behind, as they do not react with iodine. 

Ti(s) + 2I2(s) → TiI4 (vapour)

The volatile titanium tetraiodide vapour is passed over a tungsten filament at a temperature around I 800 K. The titanium tetraiodide is decomposed and pure titanium is deposited on the filament. The iodine is reused.

TiI4 (vapour)   → Ti(s) + 2I2(s)

Explain the following observations. (a) Lyophilic colloid is more stable than lyophobic colloid. (b) Coagulation takes place when sodium chloride solution added to a colloidal solution of ferric hydroxide. (c) Sky appears blue in colour.

Answer»

(a) A lyophilic sol is stable due to the charge and the hydration of the sol particles. Such a sol can only be coagulated by removing the water and adding solvents like alcohol, acetone, etc. and then an electrolyte. On the other hand, a lyophobic sol is stable due to charge only and hence it can be easily coagulated by adding small amount of an electrolyte.

(b) The colloidal particles get precipitated, i.e., ferric hydroxide is precipitated. 

(c) The atmospheric particles of colloidal range scatter blue component of the white sunlight preferentially. That is why the sky appears blue.

[Ti (H2O)6]2+ is purple in colour. Prove this statement.

Answer»

(i) In [Ti (H2O)6 ]2+ , the central metal ion is Ti3+ which has d1 configuration. This single electron occupies one of the ttg orbitals in the octahedral aqua ligand field.

(ii) When white light falls on this complex, the d electron absorbs light and promotes itself to eg level. 

(iii) The spectral data show the absorption maximum is at 20000 cm-1 corresponding to the crystal field splitting energy (∆0 ) 239.7 kJ mol-1 . The transmitted colour associated with this absorption is purple and hence the complex appears in purple in colour.

Which instrument measures earthquakes ?1. Seismograph2. Barometer3. Manometer4. Ammeter

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Seismograph

The correct answer is Seismograph.

  • A seismograph is an instrument that measures earthquakes.
  • It has sensors that translate ground motion into electrical signals which are processed and recorded by the device.
  • An earthquake is a sudden shaking or trembling of the earth which lasts for a very short time.
  • It is caused by a disturbance deep inside the earth’s crust.
  • The major cause of earthquake:
    • The outermost layer of the earth is not in one piece.
    • It is fragmented and Each fragment is called a plate.
    • These plates are in continual motion.
    • When they brush past one another, or a plate goes under another due to collision they cause a disturbance in the earth’s crust.

  • A barometer is an instrument that measures Atmospheric Pressure.

Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase is allosterically activated by

Answer»

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is stimulated by its substrate G6P. 

G6PD is negatively regulated by acetylation on lysine 403 (Lys403), an evolutionarily conserved residue. The K403 acetylated G6PD is incapable of forming active dimers and displays a complete loss of activity. Mechanistically, acetylating Lys304 sterically hinders the NADP+ from entering the NADP+ structural site, which reduces the stability of the enzyme.
