Question
For the following repeater machines, how many times the base machine is applied and how much the total stretch is?
Advertisements
Solution
In machine (a), (× 1002) = 10000 stretch.
Since, it is two times the base machine.
In machine (b), (× 75) = 16807 stretch.
Since, it is fair times the base machine.
In machine (c), (× 57) = 78125 stretch.
Since, it is 7 times the base machine.

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.
