What are the differences between simple paging and virtual memory paging?

In case of simple paging all pages should be in main memory to run a process..while in case of virtual memory paging pages can be loaded as needed by the processor i.e. called demand paging...


How does mechanical advantage differ from ideal mechanical advantage?

Mechanical advantage is determined by physical measurement of the input and output forces and takes into account energy loss due to deflection, friction, and wear. The ideal mechanical advantage, meanwhile, is the mechanical advantage of a device with the assumption that its components do not flex, there is no friction, and there is no wear.


What is paging and how is it done?

Paging is a memory management scheme in which physical memory is divided into fixed-size blocks called pages, and logical memory is divided into blocks of the same size called frames. The operating system uses a page table to map logical addresses to physical addresses during memory access. When a process requests data that is not in physical memory, a page fault occurs, leading to the system retrieving the required page from secondary storage into physical memory.


How many times force is multiplied is the mechanical?

In a mechanical advantage system, the force is multiplied by the factor of the mechanical advantage. The formula for mechanical advantage is MA = output force / input force. This means the force can be multiplied by the mechanical advantage value.


How can time be used to measure mechanical advantage?

Time can be used to measure mechanical advantage by comparing the time taken to perform a task with and without a mechanical advantage device. If a mechanical advantage device reduces the time required to complete a task, it indicates that the device has increased the efficiency of the task, thereby providing mechanical advantage.
