Answer:
This is because, the advertisers report the storage space in decimal while the computer reads the storage space in binary.
Explanation:
The advertisers report the storage space in decimal or base 10 because humans count in decimal, whereas the computer reports the storage space in binary or base 2.
Since the computer storage is in bytes and 8 bits equal 1 byte, It is easier to write a storage space of 1 kB as 1000 B but it is actually supposed to be 1024 B(2¹⁰). So, there is a discrepancy of 1024 B - 1000 B = 24 B.
As we go higher, the discrepancy increases. For example, 1 MB is advertised as 1000 kB = 1000000 B but is actually supposed to be 1024 kB = 1024 × 1024 B = 1048576 B. So, there is a discrepancy of 1048576 B - 1000000 B = 48576 B.
So, the actual number of bytes on the storage device is actually less than that reported due to the different number systems in which they are reported in. This discrepancy is less in memory cards or flash drives though in which the stated value of storage capacity might be the actual storage size.
Note that the base 10 or decimal system was chosen by advertiser since this is what consumers understand.
Depending where you are in the world it is true and false
According to Newton's third law, for every action force there is an equal (in size) and opposite (in direction) reaction force.
The mechanism transmits rotary motion to reciprocating is the crank and slider. <span>A crank and slider mechanism changes straight-line motion into rotation motion. Typically found in piston engines or piston pumps, this design consists of a rod that connects to a rotating driving beam and a sliding body.</span>
