india progress in science
Many Indian scientists are working in NaSa and many reputed universities
and laboratories in uSa, england and europe including CerN. One works
there, gets a lot of experience and settles there because of better facilities for
working. In Darmstadt, Germany, GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion research,
is being upgraded, to become Facility for antiproton and Ion research (FaIr).
FaIr will feature a double-ring synchrotron with a circumference of 1100 metres
connected to the existing facility at GSI. We are very much involved in this work,
not for just working there but as a partner. We have a variable energy Cyclotron
Centre Salt-Lake, Calcutta. Our scientists have ample experience in this field.
Our scientists are making advanced components for FaIr as India is also a
partner in this venture. This facility is more powerful than even the one at cern,
in Geneva – The large Hadron Collider which is trying to detect the Higgs boson
or ‘God particle’. although the energy of the particles attained in FaIr, is much
lower than that of the Geneva facility, the intensity attained will be higher than
that of any other facility. To create heavy particles by collision, one needs very
high energy. This is the reason why there is a race for making more and more
powerful cyclotrons. energy is a very important factor. If energy is less, one
cannot do the experiments that are done by very powerful accelerators. With
the available energy, if one can make a very intense beam, the measurements
made will be more reliable in the given energy range. The new detector can
also detect collisions of the order of 10 million per second whereas the other
ones can detect 10,000 collisions per second. If the collisions are more, more
the new particles produced and less the error of determination. both energy
and intensity are important. These facilities can also be used for irradiation and
other uses ranging from agriculture to atomic physics.
We wish all the scientists working with FaIr a very bright future. The work
done by every scientist in every cormer of the world is for the benefit of the
whole humanity.

competitive world where children outdo each other in a bid to score 90 percent, professional training and coaching institutes have become a part and parcel of the modern age education.The purpose of competitive exams is to filter students with the right aptitude for a particular professional field. Simply mugging up the study material may not prove useful. It is important to have a strategy in place. Thus a mapped out plan is the need of the hour and coaching institutes play a very vital role in jotting out a good plan for the students.The coaching institutes play a very significant role in the enhancement of student’s preparation. They enhance student’s opportunities by providing a high standard of academic learning, environment and discipline. The institutes help students in developing skills in various academic fields. With the growing span of education in India, the students have become alert and conscious about their careers, they tend to seek the best quality education and for that they seek the best coaching institute in the town.Good coaching institute helps students to identify their weak areas and helps to strengthen them with well built strategies. Aspirants working hard to crack JEE Main, JEE Advanced, CAT, MAT, TOFEL, IAS etc opt for these coaching institutes for proper guidance and grooming. The growing demands of high level education have led to a fiercely competitive environment for students seeking admissions in prestigious institutes.The genesis of growth in competition lies in the education imparted in the schools. The school board exams have diverse levels of difficulty and it usually doesn’t match the competency level of the competitive exams. Schools basically focus on imparting syllabus education while entrance exams focus on application based education. The inability of traditional school set up in meeting the needs of students in preparing for
competitive exams and choosing the right career has ushered in the concept of coaching centers.Earlier students were unaware of the various new career options available due to lack of guidance and they used to rely on their parents, siblings, friends and other such sources for information. With the emergence of media penetration and online support systems, people have become more aware. Coaching institutes have generated greater awareness of the various options available for the students.The experienced and qualified faculty at a good coaching institute helps the students to understand and analyze the concepts and test patterns and guide them to work accordingly. They clarify all the related doubts of the students and provide them with relevant suggestions notes and handouts which help students utilize their time optimally.The pattern of competitive entrance exams such as JEE, CAT etc undergo frequent change and at times this change happens on yearly basis. The coaching centers understand the changes and lead the students in the desired manner. The Mock tests taken in these coaching classes are very helpful in giving fairly good exposure to the students and encourage them to put in focused effort and to work hard. These tests give ample practice as they teach the students to respond promptly to tricky questions and manage speed and time.Coaching centers are very important but one needs to keep a few things in mind before joining a coaching institute. The students should inquire about the faculties and the reputation of the coaching institute before joining. Also, the timing should be suitable and it should not be too far from your place as then it will be tiresome to travel and you will have no time to study at home. At the end of the day, irrespective of whether you go to a coaching class or not, it is your effort that will fetch you the kind of results you are longing for.

means that forceFat a point in space (location of
the particle) at a certain instant of time is related to a at that point at that instant. Acceleration here and now is determined by the force here and now, not by any history of the motion of the particle.

By the Newton’s third law this is equal and opposite to the normal force N on the person by the floor.\ When the lift is descending downward with a acceleration of a m s–2, then50 × 10 – N = 50 × 9or N = 50 × 10 – 50 × 9 = 50 N\ The reading of weighing machine is 5 kg.
8. (b) :

Life’s True Beauty“I think your education is imperfect, if you do
not realize my young friends, that life is not
merely a question of getting food, clothes and
shelter. Man does not live by bread alone.
This has been realized from ancient times.
I think that the finest thing in life are
not these, but music, colour, flowers,
beauty, aesthetic sense, the satisfaction
derived from these. It is these finer things in
life that makes life worth living.

Ap parent weight of a man in a lift : When the lift is at rest or moving with constant velocity, the apparent weight = mg. Thus apparent weight = true weight. When the lift is accelerating upwards with acceleration a, then apparent weight = m(g + a). Thus apparent weight is more than the true weight.When the lift is accelerating downwards with acceleration a, then apparent weight = m(g – a).
Thus apparent weight is less than the true weight of man.

Buoyant force or upward thrust W′ = Vsg equal to weight of the liquid displaced, acting vertically upwards through the centre of buoyancy.
Depending upon relative magnitudes of above two forces, following three cases are possible:
The density of body is greater than that of liquid (i.e., rB > s). In this situation as weight will be more than upthrust, the body will sink.The density of body is equal to the density of liquid (i.e., r
B = s). In this situation
W = W′ so the body will float fully submerged anywhere in the liquid.The density of body is lesser than that of liquid (i.e. r
B < s). In this situation
W < W′ so the body will move upwards and in equilibrium will float partially immersed in the liquid such that
W = Vinsg or VrBg = Vinsg or Vr
