FARMERS FILL THEIR FIELDS WITH WATER.

Farmers fill their crop fields with water to protect from frost: why?
Water has high specific heat capacity so it delays the surrounding temperature to fall to zero degree Celsius ,thus protecting the crops from frost

MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE , VELOCITY RATIO

Which is always constant for a machine of given design: MA or VR ? Ans: VR remains constant for a machine of given design as it depends on the distances moved by the load and effort but MA can vary due to the friction developed between the moving parts of the machine.

What is Regelation?

The melting point of ice is 0°C at normal pressure but when you increase the pressure on ice it melts at the temperature below 0°C( i.e. melting point of ice decreases with pressure). When the pressure applied is released then water formed from ice starts freezing. This phenomenon is called REGELATION.
