Find the horizontal component of the Coriolis force acting on a body of mass 2 kg moving towards the north with a horizontal velocity of 50 m/s at 35oN latitude on Earth

Answer»

ans:In physics, the Coriolis force is an inertial or fictitious force that acts on objects that are in motion within a frame of reference that rotates with respect to an inertial frame. In a reference frame with clockwise rotation, the force acts to the left of the motion of the object.

A coil of wire enclosing an area of 100cm² is placed with it's plane making an angle 60°with the magnetic field strength 10-¹ T. What is the flux through the coil ? If magnetic field is reduced to zero in 10-³S, then the induced effect?

Answer»

A = 100 cm2 = 100 x 10-ym2 = 10-2m2

θ = 30°

B = 10-1T

∴ Flux,   ϕ \(\vec{B}.\vec{A}\) 

= BA cosθ

= 10-1 x 10-2 x cos30°

= 10-3\(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)

 =  \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2000}\) Wb.

Induced emf, |e| = \(\frac{-dϕ}{dt}\) = \(\Big[\frac{ϕ_f-ϕ_i}{Δt}\Big]\)

= -\(\Big[\frac{0-1.732}{\frac{2000}{10^{-3}}}\Big]\)

=  \(\frac{1.732}{2000}\times\frac{1}{10^{-3}}\) 

\(\frac{1.732}{2}\) 

= 0.866 V.

Describe the differences between vertical and horizontal portioning.

Answer»

Horizontal portioning is where the rows in a relation are separated by some criteria and placed into a new relation or file with the same layout as the original relation (in this case only the records in each file differ). Vertical portioning is where the columns in a relation are separated by some criteria and placed into a new relation or file with a different layout as the original relation.

Compare a hierarchical and network database model?

Answer»

The hierarchical model is a top-down structure where each parent may have many children but each child can have only one parent. This model supports one-to-one and one-to-many relationships. The network model can be much more flexible than the hierarchical model since each parent can have multiple children but each child can also have multiple parents. This model supports one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many relationships.

Explain briefly the types of inheritance.

Answer»

1. Single inheritance:
A derived class with only one base class is called single inheritance. For example, If A is base class then class B derive from base class A.

2. Multilevel inheritance:
A class can be derived from another derived class which is known as multilevel inheritance. For example, The derived class C inherit B class whereas B is derived from class A.

3. Hierarchical inheritance:
When the properties of one class are inherited by more than one class, it is called hierarchical inheritance. For example, classes B, C, and D are derived from base class A.

4. Hybrid inheritance:
It is the combination of hierarchical and multilevel inheritance. For example, The derived class D derive from the classes B and C whereas both the classes B and C are derived from base class A.
