The Age of the Universe( Big Bang)

One question has always fascinated the scientists ” When the universe began?” . Current Thinking believes that Universe began as a singularity in space and Time. The singularity is called as Big Bang. It is believed at this time everything was condensed into very small space. After that the Universe has been continuously expansion mode.

A Astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered in 1929 the rate of expansion of Universe i.e the rate at which the galaxies are receding from each other. That law is called Hubble Law. As per Law, if the two galaxies are at distance R,Their present relative velocity of separation is given by

Atwood machine

The Atwood machine (or Atwood’s machine) was invented in 1784 by Rev. George Atwood as a laboratory experiment to verify the mechanical laws of motion with constant acceleration. Atwood’s machine is a common classroom demonstration used to illustrate principles of classical mechanics.
The ideal Atwood Machine consists of two objects of mass m1 and m2, connected by an inextensible massless string over an ideal massless pulley.

How to increase your concentration on Studies

1. Find a place where you go only to study. It should be quiet area .Identify your distractions. Find ways to decrease them or to postpone them until study breaks e.g., taking the phone off the hook, turning off Whatapps. If using a computer, exit out of email and messengers.
