The name of a rowing event tells you both the size of the crew and the way the oars are held: sculling means each rower works a pair of oars, and double means the boat carries two of them.

What the Prime Minister called noteworthy was not the single silver alone but the run behind it: medals at three Asian Games one after another, a record of turning up at the top of the sport over many years rather than in one good season.

Sanda is the full-contact fighting format of wushu and its bouts are decided in weight categories, which is why the weight appears in the name of the event itself.

The money came from the disposal of files, obsolete material and scrap during the month-long drive held from 2 to 31 October 2025.

The campaign is run in two clearly separated stages, and a question of this kind usually turns on telling them apart.

It runs the special campaign across the Government, lays down the parameters against which each office identifies its pending matters, issues the guidelines that offices follow, and takes the reporting of achievements on the campaign portal.

This is the feature that sets the platform apart from a conventional news agency, because a small newspaper can run a national or international story under its own masthead without attributing it to the broadcaster.

Free access has been stretched in steps rather than granted once and for all, which is exactly what makes this a favourite question.

PBSHABD is its free news feed, and the very name carries the parent body in it, since it expands to Prasar Bharati - Shared Audio-Visuals for Broadcast and Dissemination.

A lactometer floats in milk and shows its relative density. Pure milk is denser than water, so adding water lowers the density and the instrument sinks deeper, which reveals the adulteration.

The horsepower is an older practical unit of power that survives in the rating of engines, pumps and motors, and it equals about 746 watts.

The mole is the chemist's counting unit: one mole of any substance contains the Avogadro number of particles, about six followed by twenty-three zeros, whether those particles are atoms, molecules or ions.

A barometer measures the pressure of the atmosphere, traditionally by balancing it against a column of mercury. It is also used for forecasting weather, because a sudden drop in pressure signals an approaching storm, and for finding altitude, since pressure falls as one rises.

Work is force multiplied by displacement. Force has the dimensions M L T⁻², and multiplying it by a length adds one more power of L, which gives M L² T⁻².

Pressure is force divided by area, so its unit is one newton per square metre, which is given the name pascal after Blaise Pascal.

A light year is the distance that light, moving at about three lakh kilometres per second, covers in one year, which works out to roughly 9.46 trillion kilometres.

The candela takes its name from the candle, which was once used as a rough standard of light, and it is one of the seven base units of the SI system.

The newton is a derived unit: it is built from the kilogram, the metre and the second, since force equals mass times acceleration, and it can be written as one kilogram metre per second squared.

The SI system, adopted in 1960 by the General Conference on Weights and Measures, rests on seven base units: the metre, the kilogram, the second, the ampere, the kelvin, the mole and the candela.

One newton is the force that gives a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of one metre per second squared, which follows directly from the equation force equals mass times acceleration.
