Compare the traditional water harvesting...

Compare the traditional water harvesting system with the probable systems in hilly / mountainous area or plains or plateau regions.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Traditional water harvesting system in hilly and mountainous area is different from plains and from plateau region.
e.g. In hilly areas like Himachal Pradesh there is a local system of irrigation called Kulhs. The water flowing in the streams is diverted into man-made channels which takes this water to numerous villages down the hillside.
Whereas water in plains is collected in check dams or tanks, tals or bundhis.

An ideal gas enclosed in a cylindrical container supports a freely moving piston of mass M . The piston and the cylinder have equal cross-sectional area A . When the piston is in equilibrium, the volume of the gas is V_(0) and its pressure is P_(0) . The piston is slightly displaced from the equilibrium position and released. Assuming that the system is completely isolated from its surrounding, the piston executes a simple harmonic motion with frequency

Two stars bound together by gravity orbit othe because of their mutual attraction. Such a pair of stars is referred to as a binary star system. One type of binary system is that of a black hole and a companion star. The black hole is a star that has cullapsed on itself and is so missive that not even light rays can escape its gravitational pull therefore when describing the relative motion of a black hole and companion star, the motion of the black hole can be assumed negligible compared to that of the companion. The orbit of the companion star is either elliptical with the black hole at one of the foci or circular with the black hole at the centre. The gravitational potential energy is given by U=-GmM//r where G is the universal gravitational constant, m is the mass of the companion star, M is the mass of the black hole, and r is the distance between the centre of the companion star and the centre of the black hole. Since the gravitational force is conservative. The companion star and the centre of the black hole, since the gravitational force is conservative the companion star's total mechanical energy is a constant.
