Statue of unity

STATUE OF UNITY (began in 2013 and completed in 2018) It is the world's tallest statue(twice the statue of Liberty) with a height of 182 (597ft) metres above ground level. The statue can be seen within a 7 km (4.3 mi) radius. The total height of the structure is 240 m (790 ft), with a base of 58 m (190 ft) above FFL hence total height is (240 - 58=) 182 m. It rises 54 metres (177 ft or 40%) higher than the previous record holder, the Spring Temple Buddha in China's Henan province. The height of 182 was specifically chosen to match the number of seats in the Gujarat Legislative Assembly. Statue of Unity has been dedicated to the Nation on the 143rd Birth Anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. The previous tallest statue in India was the 41m (135 ft) statue of Hanuman at the Paritala Anjaneya Temple near Vijayawada in the state of Andhra Pradesh. The statue depicts Vallabhbhai Patel responsible for the integration of princely states(562) into the modern Republic o

Strength of materials...one liners...

Strength of materials One liners............ Ratio of change in dimension to original dimension know as strain. Strain has no dimension and it is fundamental behaviour of materials. Strain is fundamental quantity because it is measured in the laboratory. Strain at right angle to the direction of the applied load called lateral strain. S.I. unit of force is Newton (N). Volumetric strain is three times linear strain. Deformation progressively with time called creep. The property by which the body returns to its original position after removing load is known as ELASTICITY. Property by which the body can be beaten or rolled into thin plates called Malleability. Hooke's Law valid within elastic limit, Hence called elasticity law also.  Same optical properties like permittivity, permeability in all direction called isotropic. same elastic properties in all direction called Homogeneous material. Plastic does not regain its original position after removing load.  After
