Seating capacity is the number of people who can be seated in a specific space, in terms of both the physical space available, and limitations set by law. Seating capacity can be used in the description of anything ranging from an automobile that seats two to a stadium that seats hundreds of thousands of people. The largest sporting venue in the world, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, has a permanent seating capacity for more than 235,000 people and infield seating that raises capacity to an approximate 400,000.
Sir,
I stuck with a project. It is a bearing supported 5 Meter long cylinder with 1.5 meter diameter and weighs approximately 8 tons. At first stage I need to rotate this cylinder from 0-200 RPM within 1 minute and keep that RPM for 10 minutes and again from 200-1200 within 1 minute and keep...
Hello -

I just picked up an older computer (Dell with XP) to substitute for and eventually augment a machine that has turned boat-anchor on me (I'll get to that one at a later date). The main problem is the readings I get from "my computer" of the remaining "free space". Sometimes it reads as low as a...

Why does the cerebral cortex require a large surface area (demonstrated by the large number of folds and creases in it)? Surely the brain simply requires as big a volume as possible, to fit in more cells, as there is nothing outside the brain it needs to interact with.
