The distance between the Sun and the Earth is 1.496 × 108 km and distance between the Earth and the Moon is 3.84 × 108 m. During solar eclipse the Moon comes in between the Earth and the Sun. What is distance between the Moon and the Sun at that particular time?

उत्तर
The distance between the Sun and the Earth is 1.496 × 108 km
= 1.496 × 108 × 103 m
= 1496 × 108 m
The distance between the Earth and the Moon is 3.84 × 108 m.
The distance between the Moon and the Sun at particular time (solar eclipse)
= (1496 × 108 – 3.84 × 108) m
= (1496 – 3.84) × 108 m
= 1492.16 × 108 m

Similarly, repeater machine is a hypothetical machine which automatically enlarges items several times. For example, sending a piece of wire through a (× 24) machine is the same as putting it through a (× 2) machine four times. So, if you send a 3 cm piece of wire through a (× 24) machine, its length becomes 3 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 48 cm. It can also be written that a base (2) machine is being applied 4 times.

What will be the new length of a 4 cm strip inserted in the machine?
