Why do we use second or first gear while driving up a hillock or ghat section not 3 rd or 4th gear which is supposed to be faster?

it is clear that for driving up a hillock we need to have high torque , but the question is why this high torque is achieved at low rpm so first analyse the graph of torque to speed:


it is clear form the above graph that torque is low at very low and very high speed so why it happens. it happens due to the valve timing as valve are coupled with the crank rotation so at low speed it remains open for a long time which creates losses during compression as a result of which less torque is generated on the other hand if the speed is high enough then valve opens for very less time as a result of which less fuel burns and less power is generated producing less torque.
now another logic which works along is when you change gear piston reciprocates with the same speed it's just the power which is transmitted by the gear from engine to wheel which controls  every things. suppose engine generated power P=torque * rpm so, if arrangement of gear is such that it delivers less speed then definitely it would transmit more power, since gear transmit constant power.

Peasant movement during freedom struggle

Unlike the earlier peasant movements that arose from discontentment among the peasantry, the peasant movements in the twentieth century were influenced by national freedom struggle. This phase witnessed an increased involvement of middle-class, modern educated class in peasant resistance movements. This led to percolation of the idea of nationalism among the peasantry too. Gandhian Peasant Movements These movements were essentially non violent in nature. Satyagraha (fast unto death) was the defining feature of these moments to build moral pressure on britishers to accept their demands. Champaran Satyagraha 1917 : In Champaran, the peasants were agitating against the planters who were forcing the peasants to grow indigo under the exploitative tinkathia system . This system forced cultivation of indigo in 3/20th of land held by the peasant. One of their leaders, Raj Kumar Sukul invited Gandhi to resolve the issue. Gandhi led the movement by launching satyagraha and mobilised the peasan...

Different perspective of Freedom-----market economy vs social stability

  What we can define we can control, perhaps this is the reason why we cant define emotion. This article is all about Freedom and its scope.   I will define freedom as this   article progresses towards required point. Pre-requisite: Cost of Happiness: happiness is not something static, it’s a dynamic concept and its directly linked to the edge of our freely floating mind . In other words if someone/something is responsible for your happiness(social/sexual/psychological) wont last long until and unless there is some desirable or at least some socially acknowledgeable value is added to the status quo. Now since this change traces the edge of our freely floating mind (and our mind tend to spread to the extreme extant of our economic/social/psychological reach) it becomes difficult or rather costly to continuously sustain this change. I call it cost of happiness   , that we have to keep paying .   Biasness: Lack of knowledge is called biasness. If ...

जिसे हम परिभाषित कर सकते हैं उसे हम नियंत्रित कर सकते हैं, शायद यही कारण है कि हम भावनाओं को परिभाषित नहीं कर सकते। यह लेख सभी स्वतंत्रता और इसके दायरे के बारे में है।   मैं स्वतंत्रता को परिभाषित करूंगा क्योंकि यह लेख आवश्यक बिंदु की ओर बढ़ता है। पूर्व-अपेक्षा: खुशी की लागत: खुशी कुछ स्थिर नहीं है, यह एक गतिशील अवधारणा है और इसका सीधा संबंध हमारे स्वतंत्र रूप से तैरने वाले दिमाग से है। दूसरे शब्दों में अगर कोई / कुछ आपकी खुशी के लिए ज़िम्मेदार है (सामाजिक / यौन / मनोवैज्ञानिक) लंबे समय तक नहीं होगा और जब तक कि कुछ वांछनीय या कम से कम कुछ सामाजिक रूप से स्वीकार्य मूल्य को यथास्थिति में नहीं जोड़ा जाता है। अब चूंकि यह परिवर्तन हमारे स्वतंत्र रूप से तैरने वाले मन के किनारे का पता लगाता है (और हमारा दिमाग हमारी आर्थिक / सामाजिक / मनोवैज्ञानिक पहुंच के चरम विस्तार तक फैलता है) इस परिवर्तन को निरंतर बनाए रखना मुश्किल या महंगा हो जाता है। मैं इसे खुशी की कीमत कहता हूं, कि हमें भुगतान करते रहना है।   Biasness: ज्ञान की कमी को पूर्वाग्रह कहा जाता है। यदि आप किसी विशेष धर्म, संबंध, सरक...
