The residue left after methane production from cattle dung is
(A) Burnt
(B) Buried in land fills
(C) Used as manure
(D) Used in civil construction

A

Burnt

B

Buried in land fills

C

Used as manure

D

Used in civil construction

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The raw material is excreta of cattles for production of biogas. The biogas plant is a pit of concrete tank (10-15 feet deep) in which bio wastes are collected and a slurry of dung is fed. Gobar (excreta/dung) of cattle is rich in these bacteria. Dung can be used for generation of biogas, commonly called gobar gas. The residue left after methane production from cattle dung is used as manure

In Exercise 14.9, let us take the position of mass when the spring is unstreched as x = 0, and the direction from left to right as the positive direction of x-axis. Give x as a function of time t for the oscillating mass if at the moment we start the stopwatch (t = 0), the mass is (a) at the mean position, (b) at the maximum stretched position, and (c) at the maximum compressed position. In what way do these functions for SHM differ from each other, in frequency, in amplitude or the initial phase?

A physical quantity is a phyical property of a phenomenon , body, or substance , that can be quantified by measurement. The magnitude of the components of a vector are to be considered dimensionally distinct. For example , rather than an undifferentiated length unit L, we may represent length in the x direction as L_(x) , and so forth. This requirement status ultimately from the requirement that each component of a physically meaningful equation (scaler or vector) must be dimensionally consistent . As as example , suppose we wish to calculate the drift S of a swimmer crossing a river flowing with velocity V_(x) and of widht D and he is swimming in direction perpendicular to the river flow with velocity V_(y) relation to river, assuming no use of directed lengths, the quantities of interest are then V_(x),V_(y) both dimensioned as (L)/(T) , S the drift and D width of river both having dimension L. with these four quantities, we may conclude tha the equation for the drift S may be written : S prop V_(x)^(a)V_(y)^(b)D^(c) Or dimensionally L=((L)/(T))^(a+b)xx(L)^(c) from which we may deduce that a+b+c=1 and a+b=0, which leaves one of these exponents undetermined. If, however, we use directed length dimensions, then V_(x) will be dimensioned as (L_(x))/(T), V_(y) as (L_(y))/(T), S as L_(x)" and " D as L_(y) . The dimensional equation becomes : L_(x)=((L_(x))/(T))^(a) ((L_(y))/(T))^(b)(L_(y))^(c) and we may solve completely as a=1,b=-1 and c=1. The increase in deductive power gained by the use of directed length dimensions is apparent. A conveyer belt of width D is moving along x-axis with velocity V. A man moving with velocity U on the belt in the direction perpedicular to the belt's velocity with respect to belt want to cross the belt. The correct expression for the drift (S) suffered by man is given by (k is numerical costant )

Two parallel beams of light P and Q (separation d) containing radiations of wavelengts 4000Å and 5000 Å (which are mutually coherent in each wavelength separately) are incident normally on a prism as shown in figure the refractive index of the prism as a function of wavelength is given by the relation mu(lamda)=1.20+(b)/(lamda^(2)) where lamda is in Å and b is a positive constant. The value of b is such that the condition for total reflection at the face AC is just satisfied for one wavelength and is not satisfied for the other. A convergent lens is used to bring these transmitted beams into focus. If the intensities of the upper and the lower beams immediately after transmission from the face AC, are 4I and I respectively, find the resultant intensity at the focus.
