Indonesia names new capital Nusantara, replacing sinking Jakarta

-

 President Joko Widodo first announced plans to relocate the Indonesian capital in 2019, in an effort to reduce the major environmental challenges facing Jakarta, and to redistribute assets. The move has been delayed by an epidemic, but could move forward in 2024.



Notoriously overcrowded, prone to regular flooding, the city of Jakarta in Jakarta is expected to ease the load and is one of the fastest sinking cities in the world due to excessive groundwater extraction. Parts of North Jakarta forecast for the year.  The new name had been selected from more than 80 options by Widodo and was chosen because it reflected Indonesia’s geography, and was iconic internationally, said Suharso Monoarfa, the national development planning minister.

Some have pointed out that the choice could prove confusing since Nusantara is also used to refer to the archipelago nation as a whole. Others have questioned why Nusantara, an old Javanese term, was selected when the new capital was being built in Kalimantan

  In case you don’t get it… For those who ask: “Why does Ukraine matter?” This is why Ukraine matters: It is the second-largest country in Europe by land volume and has a population of over 40 million - more than Poland. Ukraine ranks: 1st in Europe in proven recoverable reserves of uranium ores; 2nd place in Europe and 10th place in the world in terms of titanium ore reserves; 2nd place in the world in terms of explored reserves of manganese ores (2.3 billion tons, or 12% of the world's reserves); 2nd largest iron ore reserves in the world (30 billion tons); 2nd place in Europe in terms of mercury ore reserves; 3rd place in Europe (13th place in the world) in shale gas reserves (22 trillion cubic meters) 4th in the world by the total value of natural resources; 7th place in the world in coal reserves (33.9 billion tons) Ukraine is an important agricultural country: 1st in Europe in terms of arable land area; 3rd place in the world by the area of black soil (25% of world's vol...

Find the square pyramid volume as a function of aa and HH by slicing method

-

  The first step is to find the volume of  one  slice of the pyramid. The slice is considered as a square cuboid with side  x x  and infinitesimally small height dh  as shown in blue in the figure below, so we can affirm that the slice’s volume is  d v = x 2 d h d v = x 2 d h . To continue, we need to find a relationship between  x x  and  h h  before applying integration.  h h  is the distance between the cuboid and the pyramid's square base. So to do that, we use  Thales ‘s theorem in the triangle with the orange line segments. We get, x 2 √ a 2 √ = H − h H x a = H − h H    or x = a ( H − h H     ) =   = − ( a H ) 2 ( − H 3 3 ) = − ( a H ) 2 ( − H 3 3 ) = a 2 H 3 3 H 2 = a 2 H 3 3 H 2 = 1 3 a 2 H
