WOMEN CHANGE THE WORLD.

5. WOMEN CHANGE THE WORLD.

How do you think stereotypes, about what women can or cannot do, affect women’s right to equality?

1. Stereotypes, about what women can or cannot do affect women’s right to equality by forcing the society to give them certain roles and not allow them to take up other roles. 

This is unequal treatment because the choice of the woman is not considered and she is not free to do what she wants. 

This leads to fewer opportunities and rigid expectations from women in society and hampers innovation.

For example, if women are not allowed to take up technical roles due to the stereotype that women cannot handle technical things, then there will be fewer women scientists and hence, the lack of innovation.

List one reason why learning the alphabet was so important to women like Rashsundari Devi, Ramabai and Rokeya.

It was by learning the alphabet that women like Rashundari Devi, Ramabai and Rokeya were able to write letters, stories and autobiographies which describes their own struggle against inequality prevalent in society.

“Poor girls drop out of school because they are not interested in getting an education.” Re-read the last paragraph on page 62 and explain why this statement is not true.

This statement is not true. 

On reading the information, we realize that girls from poor families drop out of school because their parents are unwilling to send them to school because of lack of money for transportation and education costs. 

There are no toilets for girls in some schools. 

Also, in many poor rural areas, there are no proper schools and teachers who teach on a regular basis. 

Hence, many poor girls drop out of schools.

Can you describe two methods of struggle that the women’s movement used to raise issues? If you had to organise a struggle against stereotypes, about what women can or cannot do, what method would you employ from the ones that you have read about? Why would you choose this particular method?

1. Two methods of struggle that the women’s movement used to raise issues are by raising awareness and protesting. 

Women’s movements raise awareness on women’s rights issues. 

They spread their message through street plays, songs and public meetings. 

Women’s movements protest when violations against women happen or when a law or policy works against their interest.

I would choose the method of raising awareness as it will ensure that I will be able to put across my point of view effectively.

Force due to Gravity on a body

The force due to gravity on a body of mass m kept on the surface of earth of mass M and radius R, is equal to the force of attraction between the earth and that body. It is given as F = (GMm)/(R ^ 2) Taking the mass of earth M = 5.96 * 10 ^ 24 * kg Radius of earth R = 6.37 * 10 ^ 6 m m = 1kg and G = 6.67 * 10 ^ - 11 * N * m ^ 2 / k * g ^ 2 F = 9.8N Then

Thus earth attracts a body of mass 1kg by a force of 9.8 N towards its centre.

Note: As earth attracts an object towards it, the object also attracts the earth towards it by an equal force. Since the object is free to move, it starts moving towards the earth, but the earth because of its large inertia, doesnot move towards the object.

Difference between Gravitation and Gravity :

1. Gravitation is the force of attraction acting between any two bodies of universe Gravity in the earth's gravitational pull on a body, lying on or near the surface of earth.

2. The direction of gravitational force on body A due to body B is along AB. The direction of force of gravity on a body is along the line joining the body and the centre of the earth and is directed towards the centre of the earth.

3. The force of gravitation between two bodies can be zero if the separation between bodies becomes infinity.

The force of gravity on a body is zero at the centre of the earth.

Thermal expansion of solid

Thermal expansion of solid

1. Linear expansion : It is the increase in leng of a solid on heating. Suppose L is original length of alid rod. Let Delta*L be a small increase in length of rod when its temperature is raised by a small amou Delta*T It is found that Delta*L & L and Delta*L & Delta*T Delta*L & Delta*T ..

or, Delta*L = alpha*L*Delta*T

Change in length

AL LAT α = = Original length x change in temperatun

Where, a is a constant of proportionality and called coefficient of linear expansion. The value of depends on nature of material of solid. It is measure in ^ C ^ - 1 or K ^ - 1
