    Wrought iron is a form of commercial iron containing less than 0.10% of carbon, less than 0.25% of impurities total of sulfur, phosphorus, silicon and manganese, and less than 2% slag by weight. Wrought iron is redshort or hot short if it contains sulfur in excess quantity.

    The Golden Ratio is an irrational number with never-ending infinite numbers of digits, 1.618033988749895…, which are highly confusing and misleading. It is a linear number and represents only two dimensions of the object.

    Drawing It

    Here is one way to draw a rectangle with the Golden Ratio:

    • Draw a square (of size “1”)
    • Place a dot half way along one side
    • Draw a line from that point to an opposite corner (it will be √5/2 in length)
    • Turn that line so that it runs along the square’s side

    Then you can extend the square to be a rectangle with the Golden Ratio.

    Initial setting time of various types of cement: The value of the initial setting time is different for a different type of cement. The initial setting time of Quick setting cement is only 5 minute. The initial setting time of low heat cement is 60 minutes But usually, another type of cement has 30mRead more

    Initial setting time of various types of cement:

    • The value of the initial setting time is different for a different type of cement.

    • The initial setting time of Quick setting cement is only 5 minute.

    • The initial setting time of low heat cement is 60 minutes

    • But usually, another type of cement has 30minutes is the value of initial setting time.

    Please refer the above image for knowing the values of initial setting time and final setting time for various types of cement.


    Thank you.

    Back Sight: Backsight is simply a first reading which is taken after setting up the instrument.  Why the backsight is also called plus sight: Only because the reading is taken of known elevation to continue taking foresight reading.  Thank You.

    Declination:

    I am providing more additional information about the declination, have a look.

    Here, I Attached a diagram of declination, through that we can clearly understand positive as well as negative declination.


    1. Whenever declination is towards the Eastwood direction then that declination is called positive declination.

    2. When a declination is going towards west word direction then it is called negative declination.

    True bearing is the sum of magnetic bearing plus declination.


    Thank you.

    Here, consider lens or mirror at the origin. Now, all the distances measured in the direction of incident rays are positive and distances measured in the direction opposite to the direction of incident rays are negative. All distances have to be measured from the lens or mirror. For example object distance measured from lens or mirror is measured in the direction opposite to direction of incident rays hence, in these case object distance u is negative. The paraxial parallel rays are focused on the right hand side of convex lens. See, this distance f is measured in the direction of incident rays . Hence, focal length of convex lens is positive. But, we can see that focal length of concave mirror is negative. It’s radius of curvature is also negative. The radius of curvature of first surface of convex lens is positive, but radius of curvature of it’s second surface is negative. You can see that radius of curvature and focal length of concave mirror are negative.

What is Wet Basement? How can we avoid it?

    Added an answer on September 28, 2020 at 11:18 pm

    The presence of moisture due to various reasons is simply the meaning of the wet basement.  In the area of the basement, efflorescence will occur. Efflorescence means the deposition of white powder on the surface due to the presence of alkalies.
