                SOFTWARE   

:- Hardware is of no use on its own. Hardware needs to be operated by a set of instructions. These set of instuctions are refered to as software.


~ It is that component of a computer system, which we cannot touch or view physically.                                                           It comprises the instructions and data to be processed using the computer hardware.

~ The computer software and hardware complete any task together. 

~  Each software is written for some computational purpose .

EXAMPLE:- system like Ubuntu or Windows 7/10, Microsoft word, VLC player, photo editor etc..

~   A document or image stored on the hard disk or pen drive is referred to as a softcopy. Once printed, the document or an image is called hardcopy.

        HARDWARE refers to the physical component of the computer system which can be seen and touched.   for example :-  RAM, Keyboard,Printer, Monitor, CPU, etc...     


                                                  On the other hand, software is a set of instructions and data that makes hardware functional to complete the desired task.

           NEED OF SOFTWARE

:- The solve purpose of a software is to make the computer hardware useful and operational.

~ A software knows how to make different hardware components of a computer work and communicate with each other as well as with the end- user.

~ Software acts as an interface between users and the hardware.

How Hydraulics Work ?

  Understanding How Hydraulics Work Hydraulics is a branch of engineering and physics that uses the mechanical properties of fluids, typically liquids, to perform work. From heavy machinery like excavators to car brakes, hydraulics is the driving force behind numerous industrial, automotive, and everyday systems. The principle that governs hydraulics is simple yet powerful: liquids are incompressible and can transmit force efficiently in a confined space. In this essay, we will delve into the fundamental principles, components, and applications of hydraulics, highlighting the science behind their operation and their significance in modern engineering. Fundamental Principles of Hydraulics The operation of hydraulics is based on two fundamental concepts: Pascal's Law and the properties of fluids. 1. Pascal's Law Discovered by Blaise Pascal, this law states that pressure exerted on a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished in all directions throughout the fluid . This principle...

How does Refrigerator cool?

A refrigerator operates on the principles of thermodynamics, utilizing a combination of components and processes to maintain a cool temperature inside. The fundamental concept behind refrigeration is the removal of heat from the interior of the refrigerator, thus lowering the temperature and preserving the contents. Let's delve into the intricate workings of a refrigerator, exploring its key components and the science behind its cooling mechanism. 1. Refrigeration Cycle: It the heart of every refrigerator is the refrigeration cycle, a continuous process that involves the circulation of a refrigerant through various components. The cycle begins with the compression of the refrigerant, typically a gas, in the compressor unit of the refrigerator. 2. Compressor: The compressor plays a pivotal role in the refrigeration cycle. It pressurizes the low-pressure, low-temperature gas refrigerant, causing it to become a high-pressure, high-temperature gas. T...

  HTML Overview HTML ( HyperText Markup Language ) is the standard language used to create webpages. It structures the content by defining elements like text, images, links, and forms. HTML is made up of tags , which are enclosed in angle brackets ( < . > ) Most tags come in pairs: an opening tag ( <tag> ) and a closing tag ( </tag> ) , with content placed between the two. Some tags, however, are self-closing. Basic Structure of an HTML Document html < !DOCTYPE html > < html lang = "en" > < head > < meta charset = "UTF-8" > < meta name = "viewport" content = "width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" > < title > Document Title </ title > </ head > < body > < h1 > Hello, World! </ h1 > < p > This is a paragraph. </ p > </ body > </ html > <!DOCTYPE html> : Declares the document type and versi...
