B is the second letter in the Latin alphabet. Its name in English (pronounced /ˈbiː/) is spelled bee, plural bees. It is used to represent a variety of bilabial sounds (depending on language), most commonly a voiced bilabial plosive.

History

‹B›started as a pictogram of the floorplan of a house in Egyptian hieroglyphs or the Proto-Sinaitic alphabet. By 1050 BC, the Phoenician alphabet's letter had a linear form that served as the beth.

Typography

The modern lowercase ‹b› derives from later Roman times, when scribes began omitting the upper loop of the capital.

‹B› is often confused with the visually similar Germanß› which stands for ‹ss›.

How much start A should give B so that the race ends in dead heat?
Q. A and B have a race on a circular track of 510 meters.A who runs faster meets with B in the middle of the 5th round. Now in a 3 kM race how much start A must give B so that the race ends dead heat, i.e. A and B reach the goal at the same time.

A. what do you mean by the fifth round, do you mean the fifth lap? I am interpreting your question to mean that A completes 4.5 laps when B completes 3.5 laps. This means that A travels 45/35 or 9/7 faster than B. Thus, we can write the distance equations for A and B as: A must travel x+3 km in the same time as B travels x km; A travels at 9/7v and B travels at v, so: x+3=9/7 vt 3=vt =>t=3/v substitute this expression for t into the first equation and get: x+3=9/7v*(3/v)=27/7 x=27/7-3=6/7 km A must start 6/7 km farther back; or A must travel 9/7 farther than B to finish at the same time, and 9/7x 3 = 3 6/7 km

A. Also depends on the state you received the speeding tickets in as every state has different laws.

What is the difference between shooting in B&W compared to colour and then transforming it to B&W?
Q. Here's a question that I have wondered. Whats the difference in shooting in B&W compared to shooting in colour then making it B&W? Say in a digital sense and in a film sense.
Asked by Eklund - Thu May 29 13:50:19 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I'll be quick now and answer more thorough later this evening. In a film sense, B&W film will gives you much better contrast then shooting with color film and trying to process it (chemically) to be black and white. With film however, you'll want to probably use a filter (yellow, orange, red, etc) to achieve the look you want. With Digital, it's actually better to always shoot in color. You can use something like Channel Mixer in Photoshop to yield a much better black and white image than the B&W setting on your camera. Plus, you'll still have the color version in case it is also useful. Desaturating an image to make it B&W is the easiest, but often the worst way to make an image B&W. I always shoot in RAW so I can decide if I want… [cont.]
