Stones can sink into sea, Why Not Ships ?

A boat or ship considered in terms of its ability to cope with conditions at any water bodies for travelling. These Floating boats are never getting into water bodies.The reason behind is its hollow structure and Archimedes ‘s principle states that the force exerted on an object in a fluid is equal to the weight of fluid displaced (moved out of the way) by the object. This force is called buoyant force. The buoyant force pushes upwards against the object. Gravity exerts a downward force on the object (its weight), which is determined by the object’s mass. So, Boat density is less compared to water body density.

Though Submarines are in a hollow shape, They can go up and down water bodies. The bottom of the Submarine has tanks in which we can fill water or air. By Archimedes’s principle, the submarines may reach the outer surface of water bodies when tanks are getting filled with air. This process is called as positive buoyancy. In the same way, submarines can sinks into the water while filling those tanks with water. This process is called negative buoyancy. Those tanks are called ballast tank. The ballast tanks can also be used to help a submarine surface very quickly in an emergency.

Most submarines except nuclear ones have diesel-electric engines. The diesel engine operates normally when the sub is near the surface but it doesn’t drive the sub’s propellers directly. Instead, it powers an electricity generator that charges up huge batteries. These drive an electric motor that, in turn, powers the propellers. Once the diesel engine has fully charged the batteries, the sub can switch off its engine and go underwater, where it relies entirely on battery power.

The Oldest Phone In The World

The first cellular telephones are called Dyna Tac. It is manufactured from 1983-1994. It received approval from the U.S. FCC on September 21, 1983. Martin Cooper of Motorola made the first publicized handheld mobile phone call on a prototype DynaTAC model on April 3, 1973. This is a reenactment in 2007. The dimensions of this phone are 3300 x 898 x 445 mm, vol. 1318710 cm³.This cellular phone is available at the minimum weight of 2 pounds. It is used in the ALOHAnet system, including metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) transceiver and modem technology. It has nine additional key.They are Rcl (recall),Clr (clear),Snd (send),Sto (store),Fn (function),EndPwr (power),Lock and Vol (volume).Minimum sim is used in this phone. In 1983, The market price for this phone is $3,995. In 1930, Travelers could place phone calls from and to ocean liners in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The process was driven by Marine VHF Radio and cost $7 a minute. In 1984 Motoro...

LEECH THERAPY

Early Egyptian, used leeches to treat the nervous system, abnormalities, dental problems, skin disease and infections. Nowadays mostly used in plastic surgery and microsurgery. The saliva of leech secretes peptides and proteins which prevent blood clot. These secretions also called anticoagulant to keep blood flowing will help to heal the wounds. This therapy is seeing a revival or renewal due to its simple and inexpensive means of preventing complications. These medicinal leeches most often come from Hungary or Sweden. Leech has 3jaws in them two tiny rows of teeth. They make a hole in a person skin and insert the anticoagulant through their saliva. Each leech allows extracting (up to 15ml of blood) for 30 to 45 minutes. Chemical derive from the saliva of leech made into pharmaceutical drugs that can treat hypertension, haemorrhoids, skin problems, arthritic appreciate treatment for common joint disease osteoarthritis, ci...
