The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the effects of breathing air directly into the trachea through a tube (tracheotomy), we can break down the reasoning step by step: ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Respiratory Pathway**: - Normally, air enters the body through the nose or mouth, passes through the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, and then into the trachea. This pathway is designed to condition the air before it reaches the lungs. 2. **Functions of the Respiratory Airways**: - The respiratory airways perform several critical functions: - **Filtration**: The nasal cavity filters out dust, pathogens, and other particles from the air. - **Humidification**: The air is moistened to prevent dryness in the lungs. - **Temperature Regulation**: The air is warmed to body temperature, ensuring it does not shock the lungs. 3. **Effects of Tracheotomy**: - When air is breathed directly into the trachea via a tube, these functions are bypassed: - **Non-Filtration Effect**: The air is not filtered, which can allow pathogens and particles to enter the lungs, leading to infections. - **Drying Effect**: The air is not humidified, which can dry out the lung tissues and lead to irritation or damage. - **Cooling Effect**: The air is not warmed to body temperature, which can cause discomfort and potential harm to the lung tissues. 4. **Conclusion**: - Because all these functions are compromised when air is introduced directly into the trachea, it can lead to serious lung issues, including infections and lung damage. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is "all of these" (cooling effects, drying effect, non-filtering effect). ### Final Answer When a person breathes air through a tube directly into the trachea (tracheotomy), it may lead to serious lung crushing and infection due to **all of these effects**: cooling effects, drying effect, and non-filtering effect.

The word fluid means a substance having particles which readily of its magnitude (a small shear stress, which may appear to be of negligible will cause deformation in the fluid). Fluids are charactrised by such properties as density. Specific weight, specific gravity, viscosity etc. Density of a substance is defined as mass per unit volume and it is denoted by. The specific gravity represents a numerical ratio of two densities, and water is commonly taken as a reference substance. Specific gravity of a substance in written as the ratio of density of substance to the density of water. Specific weight represents the force exerted by gravity on a unit volume of fluid. It is related to the density as the product of density of a fluid and acceleration due to gravity. Viscosity is the most important and is recognized as the only single property which influences the fluid motion to a great extent. The viscosity is the property by virtue of which a fluid offers resistance to deformation under the influenece if shear force.

A dc motor works on the principle that a current carrying coil, when placed in a magnetic field experiences a torque. The arrangement consists of a coil suspended in a region of magnetic field. When a current is passed through the coil, it experiences torque and starts rotating. A simple arrangement is shown below. The coil rotates under the action of torque. The current is supplied to the coil by an arrangement of two sliding contacts and a split ring. As the coil rotates, the magnetic flux linked with the coil changes. This leads to production of an induced emf epsilon in the coil. By Lenz's law, the induced emf opposes the applied voltage and therefore, it is called back emf. If R is the resistance in the coil, the current i flowing through the coil at any instant is i=(V-epsilon)/(R) . The back emf is developed due to induction and it is directly proportional to speed of rotation and it is directly proportional to speed of rotation of the motor. There is a continuous power loss i^(2)R in the motor, in form of heat. The mechanical power output of a dc motor is maximum, when the current through the motor is
