In 1988 the Planning Commission adopted a division of the country into fifteen agro-climatic zones so that crops, irrigation, credit and research could be planned for areas that are uniform in rainfall, temperature, soil and cropping pattern.

Rajasthan is divided into ten agro-climatic zones, and zone three B is the flood prone eastern plain, which covers Alwar, Bharatpur, Dholpur, Karauli and Sawai Madhopur, the districts drained by the Banganga, Gambhir and Chambal where heavy monsoon flows cause waterlogging.

Torque is r into F into the sine of the angle between them, and since the force here is perpendicular to the rod the sine is one, so the torque is simply 0.5 multiplied by 20, that is 10 newton metre.

Varignon theorem states that the moment of a force about any point equals the algebraic sum of the moments of its components about the same point; it speaks of the moments themselves, not of their squares, so statement S1 is false as written.

Moment of inertia is the sum of each bit of mass multiplied by the square of its distance from the axis, so drawing the arms in reduces it.

A solid cone has more material near its wide base than near its apex, so its centre of gravity lies on the axis of symmetry well below the middle, at one quarter of the height measured from the base, which is three quarters of the height measured down from the…

In a wheelbarrow the wheel is the fulcrum, the load in the tray lies between the wheel and the hands, and the effort is applied at the handles, so the load sits in the middle, which defines a second class lever; a nutcracker, a bottle opener and a lemon squeezer…

In stable equilibrium the original position is the one of least potential energy, so a small displacement lifts the centre of gravity and the weight of the body brings it back, as with a cone resting on its base or a book lying flat on a table.

A zero net force gives translational equilibrium, so the body as a whole does not accelerate, and a zero net torque gives rotational equilibrium, so it does not begin to spin; complete equilibrium requires the two together.

Torque is the product of the force and the perpendicular distance of its line of action from the axis, so the same turning effect can be produced by a smaller force if that distance is made larger; a long handle therefore does the same work with less effort.

The magnitude of torque is r into F into the sine of the angle between the arm and the force, and the sine of an angle is largest, equal to one, at 90 degrees, so the whole of the force is then used in turning the body.

The centre of gravity is a geometrical point through which the resultant weight of a body acts, and by symmetry that point for a uniform ring is its geometrical centre, which lies in the empty space inside the ring.

When three forces are represented by the sides of a triangle taken in order, their vector sum is zero, because the three sides close the triangle, so the body cannot be pushed away; but the lines of action are different, so the system reduces to a couple.

Torque is the product of a force and the perpendicular distance of its line of action from the axis of rotation, so its unit is the unit of force multiplied by the unit of length, the newton metre, and its dimensional formula is M L squared T to the power…

The Gorakhpur and Basti divisions of eastern Uttar Pradesh form the country's best-known belt of acute encephalitis syndrome and Japanese encephalitis, and Baba Raghav Das Medical College at Gorakhpur is the main centre treating it, with a Regional Medical Research Centre of the Indian Council of Medical Research in the…

The Central Drug Research Institute stands at Lucknow, which also holds the Indian Institute of Toxicology Research, the National Botanical Research Institute and the Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, all of them laboratories of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research.

In the Census of 2011 Gautam Buddha Nagar, the district of Noida on the edge of Delhi, recorded the highest literacy rate in the state, while Shrawasti in the eastern districts recorded the lowest; the state's own rate was 67.68 per cent.

IIT Kanpur was founded in 1959 and was built up in its early years with the help of a consortium of American universities, which gave it an early lead in computer science and aeronautical engineering.

The Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, established in 1983, is the state's leading referral and postgraduate medical institute, and it stands at Lucknow along with King George's Medical University and the Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences.

Sir Syed Ahmad Khan founded a school at Aligarh that grew into the Muhammadan Anglo-Oriental College in 1875, and that college was raised to the status of Aligarh Muslim University in 1920.
