Why TANKER TRUCKS are made cylindrical and not cubical?

               Many kinds of liquids are transported by road and railway. The tanks carrying these liquids are made cylindrical in shape and not cubical.

Why do Soft Drink Bottles have 5 bumps at the bottom??

               Soft drink and soda bottles, especially those made of plastic are not flat bottomed. The foot of the bottles usually has 5 bumps (corrugation). The bottles are not designed so to give it a fancy look. This post details you about the engineering in bottles. You will not find these bumps in water bottles or juice bottles. Water bottles have small indents to improve the stability of the bottle.

  
               The bumps or the corrugations in the foot of the bottle increases the strength of the bottle. Take a sheet of paper and fold it. You can easily fold the paper. Now bend any one side of the sheet and try to fold it. You will now feel some resistance. Now, roll the paper into a pipe and try folding it. It will be little hard to fold the paper pipe. Bending any material increases its strength and rigidity. This is because; rolling the paper increases its moment of inertia around the bending axis. 

Where does the water dripping out of your Air Conditioner come from?

               The water dripping out is same as the water droplets which forms over a cold water bottle when it is placed outside the refrigerator. The moisture which is present inside the room gets condensed and comes out of the air conditioner as water. You may ask whether it is necessary to remove the moisture present inside the room. The answer is YES. 

              

                 Our living condition is greatly affected by the moisture level in air. Our body gets cooled by sweating. Sweat evaporates by taking away the heat from our body. If the moisture content in the air is very high, body sweat cannot evaporate easily and so our body will not get cooled effectively. This makes us feel very uncomfortable. This is why we feel uncomfortable even in a cloudy day in coastal areas and sometimes after rain. This is all because of high levels of moisture in the air.

How to LIE without getting CAUGHT??

You would have  never thought that Lying is difficult. But yes, it is. This is because you don’t have direct control over your Subconscious mind. Our subconscious mind controls our body language which lets others know that you are lying. So if you are good enough to control your Subconscious mind, even a body language expert can’t find out your LIE.

When you lie, you think of the TRUTH and create a LIE on your own. While you lie, the words what you speak and thoughts in your subconscious mind Clash with each other. Because of this lie the subconscious mind sends out nervous energy to various parts of our body which appears as a GESTURE or some movement of any part of your body.
