Atmospheric Dynamics: Forces and Flow Balances

(1) Fundamental Forces in Rotating Frames

Centrifugal Force

Outward force in a rotating reference frame.

Coriolis Force

Deflection due to Earth’s rotation.

Centripetal Force

Inward force keeping circular motion.

Geostrophic Flow

Balance between Coriolis force and pressure gradient force (PGF).

Inertial Flow

Only Coriolis force acts.

Cyclostrophic Flow

Pressure balances centrifugal force; no Coriolis effect.

Gradient Flow

Curved flow involving all forces.

(2) Centrifugal Effects and Gravity

Understanding Recurrent Neural Networks and Their Applications

🧠 Recurrent Neural Network (RNN)
A neural network for sequential data (time series, speech, text).
It has memory of past inputs to affect current output.

Simple: “RNN past data yaad rakh kar next output predict karta hai.”

x1 → x2 → x3 → ... ↓ ↓ ↓ h1 → h2 → h3 → ... ↓ ↓ ↓ y1 y2 y3

Stepwise:
1️⃣ Input – Sequential data (text/audio)
2️⃣ Hidden Layer – Current input + previous hidden state
  Eq: hₜ = f(Wxₜ + Uhₜ₋₁ + b)
3️⃣

Understanding Cyber Terrorism and Network Intrusions

Definition:
Cyber terrorism refers to the use of the Internet and computer networks to cause disruption, fear, or harm to society, governments, or organizations for political, religious, or ideological motives.

Explanation:
In cyber terrorism, attackers use digital tools such as viruses, worms, ransomware, or denial-of-service (DoS) attacks to damage critical infrastructure, steal sensitive data, or spread panic among people. It targets systems like defense, banking, communication, power grids, and

Understanding the Impact of Land Use on Water Resources

1. Land Use and Its Influence on Runoff Patterns

Land use significantly influences runoff patterns in a river basin by affecting how precipitation interacts with the land surface. Different land uses—such as urban development, agriculture, forests, and wetlands—alter the natural infiltration, evaporation, and surface flow processes, thereby impacting the volume and timing of runoff.

Urbanization typically increases runoff due to the proliferation of impervious surfaces like roads, pavements, and

Understanding the Society of Estates and Its Transformation

A Society of Estates

Society of Estates: This refers to organized estates. The estates were closed groups primarily accessed by birth. Each sector corresponded to a group defined by a common lifestyle and similar social function. It was waterproof, meaning its members could not change their condition.

Characteristics of the Society of Estates: What characterized this society was the stability of inertia. Unlike capitalism, which is divided into groups according to wealth and is therefore more

Understanding Virtualization and Cloud Computing Concepts

a) What are the disadvantages of virtualization?

b) What is the difference between distributed objects and RPC?
c) Define federated clouds.

a) Disadvantages of Virtualization

(Any 3 points for 2 marks)

  1. Performance Overhead:
    Virtual machines run on top of a hypervisor, so applications may not perform as fast as on physical hardware.

  2. High Initial Cost:
    Powerful servers, hypervisors, and storage systems are required, which increases setup cost.

  3. Complex Management:
    Managing multiple VMs, snapshots, networks,
