Expression Evaluation with Custom Symbols

To accurately evaluate the given mathematical expression, we first need to understand the mapping of the custom symbols to their standard arithmetic operators. This problem tests our ability to interpret given rules and apply the correct order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS) in a step-by-step manner.

Understanding Symbol Mappings

The question defines the following transformations for the custom symbols into standard mathematical operators:

Symbol Standard Operator Meaning
- Subtraction
÷ Division
Δ + Addition
× Multiplication

Step-by-Step Expression Calculation

The given expression is: \( \Delta 2 \oplus 3 \Delta ((4 \otimes 2) \nabla 4) \)

Let's evaluate this expression by replacing the symbols with their corresponding operators and following the order of operations.

  • Step 1: Replace all custom symbols with their defined standard operators.

The expression \( \Delta 2 \oplus 3 \Delta ((4 \otimes 2) \nabla 4) \) becomes:

\( 2 - 3 + ((4 \div 2) \times 4) \)

  • Step 2: Apply the order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS). We start with the operations inside the innermost parentheses.

Calculate the term \( (4 \div 2) \):

\( 4 \div 2 = 2 \)

Now, substitute this value back into the expression:

\( 2 - 3 + (2 \times 4) \)

  • Step 3: Continue with the remaining operation inside the parentheses.

Calculate the term \( (2 \times 4) \):

\( 2 \times 4 = 8 \)

Substitute this value back into the expression:

\( 2 - 3 + 8 \)

  • Step 4: Perform addition and subtraction operations from left to right.

First, calculate \( 2 - 3 \):

\( 2 - 3 = -1 \)

The expression simplifies to:

\( -1 + 8 \)

  • Step 5: Perform the final addition.

Calculate \( -1 + 8 \):

\( -1 + 8 = 7 \)

Final Expression Value

After performing all the symbol substitutions and arithmetic operations in the correct order, the value of the expression \( \Delta 2 \oplus 3 \Delta ((4 \otimes 2) \nabla 4) \) is 7.

  2. A sphere of volume V is made of a material with lower density than water. While on Earth, it floats on water with its volume f1V (f1 < 1) submerged. On the other hand, on a spaceship accelerating with acceleration a < g (g is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth) in outer space, its submerged volume in water is f2V. Then:

  3. A railway wagon (open at the top) of mass M1 is moving with speed v1 along a straight track. As a result of rain, after some time it gets partially filled with water so that the mass of the wagon becomes M2 and speed becomes v2. Taking the rain to be falling vertically and the water stationery inside the wagon, the relation between the two speeds v1 and v2 is :
