Sharing my general knowledge week 19
Hello everyone! I hope you will be good. Today I am here to participate in the contest organized by @sahar78. It is an interesting contest to test the general knowledge. If you also want to share your general knowledge then come and participate in this wonderful contest.
First computer was developed by which person
The computer is one of the best inventions in the world. Computers are of great use and they are helping us in each field of life. They help us to solve the complex problems in an easy way and within seconds. So now it is the time to know when the first computer was developed. In the development of the computer there are many names and areas but I will talk about the first operational computer.
The first fully operational electronic computer was the ENIAC. The word ENIAC stands for Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer. And this first operational computer was developed by John Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly. They developed it at the University of Pennsylvania between 1943 and 1945.
This first computer was originally designed to calculate the firing tables for the United States Army. It was used during the world war II. Later on it became the foundation of theodrrn computing. It was a massive machine. It had the weight of 30 tons. It has more than 17,000 vacuum tubes.
But irrespective of it's size and weight it was able to solve the complex calculations in very less time as compared to the time which humans take to calculate things manually.
Smallest Bone in the Human Body
Bones are the base of the human body. These firm the structure and shape of the human body. And there are a number of bones in the body. Some bones are large in size and some are small in size.
The smallest bone of the human body is stapes. It is also known as stirrup bone because of it's shape. The length of this bone is roughly 3 millimetres. And it is one of the three smallest bones. It is located in the middle ear. And that part of the middle ear is called ossicles. The other two bones are called malleus and incus.
This smallest bone play an important role in hearing. A really this transmits sound vibrations from the middle ear to the inner ear. And at that place there are converted into nerve impulses. And the brain translates them as sound.
Largest Bone in the Human Body
In the human body thigh bone is the largest bone. It is also known as femur. It is the longest and the strongest bone in the human body. This bone starts from the hip and ends to the knee. It is an important bone and play a critical role in supporting the weight of the body.
It helps in the movement, maintain the posture and balance of the body. This bone can bear stress and pressure which helps in walking, running and jumping. The length and durability of the bone maintains the overall skeletal system. It is the foundation for many major muscles of the body.
It was great to explore this contest. It revised my knowledge about the developer of the first computer as well as I again revised my memory about the smallest and largest bone of the human body.
