How does the dns solve the problem of translating domain names like example.com into ip addresses?

Answer:

Explanation:

DNS translates domain names and hostnames into IP addresses through a basic lookup function.  When a user requests a domain name (as in the case of a browser lookup) the computer queries the local DNS server to find the matching IP address.  If the local DNS server does not contain the information in it's local database, it contacts the next higher DNS system or the root domain DNS servers (i.e. microsoft.com - if the local system does not know it, it will query the well-known DNS server for the .com domain - which will know where to get the information).  

DNS helps the users by not requiring them to remember the IP address of every system them want to connect with.  microsoft.com is much easier to remember than 40.82.167.220.  

DNS also helps the internet scale through the use of load balancing.  Multiple systems can comprise a single web site with the web pages stored on many different machines with multiple IP addresses.  When a user requests the microsoft.com website IP, they are given the primary IP of the load balancer sitting in front of the multiple computers.  The load balancer will then distribute the traffic to any of the systems that are hosting the web page that are not busy.  To the end user it look like they are connecting to a single machine - when in fact they are connecting to one of potentially hundreds of web servers with the same content.  As traffic grows on the internet more servers are necessary to handle the additional traffic.  DNS helps ensure the end user will connect to the proper web server regardless of the number of web server copies spun up in response to the additional traffic.  This allows the capacity to scale as necessary without interruption to the web site.

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Here is the C program:

#include <stdio.h>  //to use input output functions

//functions prototype

unsigned int mod(unsigned int a, unsigned int b);  

unsigned int mul(unsigned int a, unsigned int b);  

unsigned int sub( unsigned int a,unsigned int b);

float divide(unsigned int a,unsigned int b);  

unsigned int add( unsigned int a,unsigned int b);  

int main()  {  //start of main method

unsigned int a, b;   //declare variables to store the operands

char d;  //declare variable to store the operator

printf("Enter an operator:  ");   //prompts user to enter an operator

scanf("%c",&d);  //reads the operator from use

getchar();  //gets a character

while (d!='q')   { //keeps iterating until user enters q to quit

printf("Enter 1st operand: ");   //prompts user to enter first operand

scanf("%d",&a);   //reads first operand from user

getchar();  //reads character

printf("Enter 2nd operand: ");   //prompts user to enter second operand

scanf("%d",&b);   //reads second operand from user

getchar();  

if (d=='%')  {   //if the character of operator is a mod

printf("%d",a);  //prints operand 1

putchar(d);  //displays operator

printf("%d",b);  //displays operand 2

printf(" = ");  //displays =

mod(a,b);  }  //displays computed modulo of two input operands

if (d=='*')   //if the input character is for multiplication operator

{printf("%d",a);  //prints operand 1

putchar(d);  //displays operator

printf("%d",b);  //displays operand 2

printf(" = ");  //displays =

mul(a,b); }  //displays computed multiplication

if (d=='+')  {  //if the input character is for addition operator

printf("%d",a);  //prints operand 1

putchar(d);  //displays operator

printf("%d",b);  //displays operand 2

printf(" = "); // displays =

add(a,b);  }   //displays computed addition

if (d=='/')  {  //if the input character is for division operator

printf("%d",a); // prints operand 1

putchar(d);  //displays operator

printf("%d",b);  //displays operand 2

printf(" = ");  //displays =

divide(a,b);  }   //displays computed division

if (d=='-')  {  //if the input character is for subtraction operator

printf("%d",a);  //prints operand 1

putchar(d);  //displays operator

printf("%d",b); // displays operand 2

printf(" = ");  //displays =

sub(a,b);  }  //displays computed subtraction

printf("Enter an operator: ");   //asks again to enter an operator

scanf("%c",&d);  //reads operator from user

getchar();  }  }   //gets character

unsigned int mod( unsigned int a, unsigned int b){  //function to compute modulo of two integers with no sign

     int c = a%b;  //computes mod

    printf("%d",c);  }  //displays mod result

unsigned int add(unsigned int a, unsigned int b){     // function to compute addition of two integers

    int c = a+b; //computes addition

    printf("%d\n",c);  } //displays result of addition

unsigned int mul(unsigned int a, unsigned int b){       //function to compute multiplication of two integers

    int c = a*b;  //multiplies two integers

   printf("%d\n",c); }  //displays result of multiplication

float divide(unsigned int a, unsigned int b){   //function to compute division of two integers

    float c = a/b;  //divides two integers and stores result in floating point variable c

    printf("%f\n",c);  } //displays result of division

unsigned int sub(unsigned int a, unsigned int b){       //function to compute subtraction of two integers

    int c = a-b;  //subtracts two integers

    printf("%d\n",c);  }  //displays result of subtraction

Explanation:

The program is well explained in the comments mentioned with each line of the program. The program uses while loop that keeps asking user to select an operator and two operands to perform arithmetic calculations. The if conditions are used to check what arithmetic calculation is to be performed based on user choice of operand and calls the relevant function to perform calculation. There are five functions that perform addition, modulo, subtraction, division and multiplication and display the result of computation. The screenshot of output is attached.

If the mine winch drum diameter is 6M, how far will the counterweight lift for each single rotation of the drum
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Circumference of drum = 18.86 m

Given:

Diameter of drum = 6 m

Radius of drum = 3 m

Find:

Circumference of drum

Computation:

Circumference of drum is called single rotation

Circumference of drum = 2πr

Circumference of drum = 2[22/7][3]

Circumference of drum = 18.857

Circumference of drum = 18.86 m
