- ICG Motto
- The Indian Coast Guard's motto is "Vayam Rakshamah", a Sanskrit phrase meaning "We Protect". It reflects the force's role in guarding India's maritime zones.
- Coast Guard Act Year
- The Indian Coast Guard was formally constituted on 18 August 1978 under the Coast Guard Act, 1978, and functions under the Ministry of Defence.
- Navik GD Meaning
- Navik GD stands for Navik General Duty, a sailor entry branch of the Indian Navy involving seamanship, watchkeeping and general shipboard duties.
- Navy Day India
- Navy Day in India is observed on 4 December, commemorating the Indian Navy's successful operations during the 1971 Indo-Pakistani war.
- Fundamental Duties Amendment
- Fundamental Duties were added to the Constitution by the 42nd Amendment Act in 1976, on the recommendation of the Swaran Singh Committee.
- National Aquatic Animal
- The Ganges river dolphin is India's national aquatic animal. It is a freshwater species found mainly in the Ganga-Brahmaputra river system.
- DGICG
- DGICG stands for Director General Indian Coast Guard, the senior-most officer who heads the force and reports to the Ministry of Defence.
- Tropic of Cancer States
- The Tropic of Cancer passes through eight Indian states, including Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Tripura and Mizoram.
- km/h to m/s
- To convert kilometres per hour to metres per second, multiply by 5/18. For example, 36 km/h equals 36 x 5/18 = 10 m/s.
- Simple Interest Formula
- Simple interest equals P x R x T divided by 100, where P is principal, R is annual rate percent, and T is time in years.
- Area of a Circle
- The area of a circle is pi times the square of its radius, written A = pi r^2. Its circumference equals 2 pi r.
- Pythagoras Theorem
- In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides: a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
- LCM HCF Product Rule
- For any two positive integers, the product of their LCM and HCF equals the product of the two numbers themselves.
- Downstream Speed
- When a boat moves with the current, its downstream speed equals boat speed in still water plus stream speed; upstream speed equals boat speed minus stream speed.
- Profit Percentage
- Profit percentage equals selling price minus cost price, divided by cost price, then multiplied by 100. A negative result indicates a loss.
- Time and Work Together
- If A alone finishes work in x days and B in y days, working together they finish it in xy divided by (x + y) days.
- Compound Interest Amount
- The compound interest amount is A = P(1 + R/100)^T, where P is principal, R the annual rate percent and T the number of years.
- Average Formula
- The average of a set of observations equals the sum of all observations divided by the number of observations in the set.
- Newton's Second Law
- The net force on a body equals its mass multiplied by its acceleration, F = ma. Force is measured in newtons in the SI system.
- Ohm's Law
- At constant temperature, current through a conductor is directly proportional to potential difference across it, giving V = IR where R is resistance.
- Kinetic Energy Formula
- Kinetic energy of a moving body equals half its mass times the square of its velocity, KE = (1/2)mv^2, measured in joules.
- Value of g
- Acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface is approximately 9.8 metres per second squared, often rounded to 10 for quick calculations.
- Archimedes' Principle
- A body immersed in a fluid experiences an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces, explaining why objects float.
- Speed of Sound in Air
- Sound travels in air at roughly 343 metres per second at room temperature. It needs a medium and cannot propagate through vacuum.
- Resistors in Parallel
- For resistors in parallel, the reciprocal of total resistance equals the sum of reciprocals of individual resistances: 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2.
- Pressure Formula
- Pressure equals force divided by area, P = F/A, measured in pascals. In a liquid, pressure increases with depth as P = rho g h.
- Longitudinal Wave
- A longitudinal wave is one in which particles oscillate parallel to the direction of wave travel. Sound in air is a longitudinal mechanical wave.
- Subject-Verb Agreement
- A singular subject takes a singular verb and a plural subject takes a plural verb; each, every, either and neither take singular verbs.
- Active to Passive Voice
- In passive voice the object becomes the subject, the verb becomes be plus past participle, and the doer follows 'by'. Example: The boat was rowed by the sailor.
- Affect versus Effect
- 'Affect' is usually a verb meaning to influence; 'effect' is usually a noun meaning a result. Example: Rain affected the match; the effect was a delay.
- Since versus For
- In time expressions, 'since' marks a starting point in time (since 2019) while 'for' marks a duration (for three years).
- One Word: Amphibious
- 'Amphibious' describes something able to operate both on land and in water, such as amphibious ships or vehicles used in naval operations.
