Lately, I’ve been watching a lot of videos. It’s fun - thanks to Youtube and a bunch of video hosting websites, I’ve been finding lots of funny and useful videos as well. When I download them, however, I find that they’re always in different formats.Sometimes a video is in FLV format, while some other times it is in MP4 format. But my mobile only supports 3GPP format, the same format that most ordinary mobile phones support! That is why I started looking for a good way to convert videos into 3GPP or any other format that I wanted. That’s when I got overwhelmed by too many different video converters.

Physical Love Letter In Physics Language-Must Read

PHYSICAL LOVE LETTER

Rotation Block,
Newton's Law,
Non-Inertial Frame

Dear -ve charge,
It was a fine morning that I saw you in Physics Lab and a Torque began acting on me, which made me to rotate about your axis. A force of gravity began attracting me towards you. Everytime, day and night, you are oscillating in my mind. But, your strong Electrostatics brother began repelling me. Since the Units and Dimensions were not correct, I avoided talking face to face. One day, I saw him outside my house and an electric shock was produced in me. So, I went in an Inertial frame and tried to integrate your phone number.But, everytime I failed to apply the Limits. You are the light of my life. By Doppler's effect, I feel that you are very close to my heart. Today morning, a Pseudo force was acting on me which compelled me to write the letter. A wave is travelling from you to me. I request you to meet me at Adiabetic Park. Please don't differentiate me. I am in Tension.

Yours Attractively,
+ve charge

Chemical Love Letter -Must Read

CHEMICAL LOVE LETTER
Hydrogen Tetraborate,
Carboxyl Road,
Propane

Dearest Alkali,
The day I saw you, there were sudden Chemical reactions within me involving phenolic and benzoic rings of love. Chemically, it was found that you were the reagent for the reaction. I wanted to convey my feeling that very day but since Aldehyde, Ketone and Ether were with you, I realized that the reaction conditions are unsuitable & you would show Chemical Inertness. So, I had to control the nuclear reactions of my mind using Cadmium rods.If according to first law of Love Dynamics, the following reaction: Heart(Miss Alkali in absolute privacy), Affection can be propagated, then meet me at Ammonium Restaurant, Butyl Road at 5 PM failing which I shall consume a mixture of H2SO4 + HNO3 + CH3COOH + C4H5ClNO3 +(C2H5)4Pb.

Yours Chemically,
Methanoic Acid

Mathematical Love Letter Part-2

MATHEMATICAL LOVE LETTER

Quadratic Equation,
Circle Road,
Binomial Junction

Dear Differentiation,
Without you, there is no existence of my functions as they are the basis of our life. Our love is always a Straight Line. There are no limits of our love and it is continuous at every point of life. Our love is so strong that no one can differentiate you and no one can integrate me. Our love is free from Complex Numbers & it is now in a state of Progression and Series. The Probability of getting apart from each other is Nil between us. Our love story is totally based on Intermediate Value Theorem which nobody in this world like FIITJEE, Brilliant, Apex, Bansal or Arihant can explain. OK Darling, Bye.

Yours mathematically,
Integration

Mathematical Love Letter-Must Read

My Dear Love,

Yesterday, I was passing by your rectangular house in trigonometric lane. There I saw you with your cute circular face, conical nose and spherical eyes, standing in your Elliptical garden.

Before seeing you my heart was a null set, but when a vector of magnitude (likeness) from your eyes at a deviation of theta radians made a tangent to my heart, it got differentiated.

My love for you is a quadratic equation with real roots, which only you can solve by making good binary relation with me. The cosine of my love for you extends to infinity. I promise that I should not resolve you into partial functions but if I do so, you can integrate me by applying the limits from zero to infinity.You are as essential to me as an element of a set. The geometry of my life revolves around your acute personality.

My love, if you do not meet me at parabola restaurant on date 10 at sunset, when the sun is making an angle of 160 degrees, my heart would be like a solved polynomial of degree 10. With love from your higher order derivatives of maxima and minima, of an unknown function.

Yours ever loving, Pythagoras

De-Morgan's Law,
opposite to Guass house.

love letter from Mr. Physics to Ms. Physics-Must Read

A love letter from Mr. Physics to his girl friend Ms. Physics

Hi Miss Physics,

How r u? With the blessings of earth's gravitational force, I am living on the earth and hope you too. I always want the force of attraction between us to be more, for that reason we should always be closer to each other because, as Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation states the force of attraction between two masses is directly proportional to the square of distance between us ( Fa m₁.m₂/ d2) or

 F=G m₁.m₂/d2, where G is gravitational constant and its value 6.67 10  Nm2/Kg2.

My inertia of love is always greater than inertia of hate for you. So I am coming to meet you on this Saturday in my new car with a uniform velocity, where acceleration is 0(zero), in 20 minutes. Now you can calculate the distance between you and me by yourself.

In voltammeter, you'll be always in cathode and I will always in anode so that my love will be electroplated on you by the process of love plating. This time please hup the voltage of your beauty because I have already lost the resistance of 5 last times when I met you and got 100 amps. Current.

I always want to keep you in between focal point and optical center so that magnified; virtual image of yours is formed. But due to total internal reflection, you are always far from me like mirage.

I am sending you this message through ultra sound with a frequency of about 30 KHz. Please respond to it as fast as possible, like acid base reaction where you may use a sweet kiss as catalyst.

Last but not the least, please always be in the South Pole and I will be in the North Pole so that there is always attraction between us with no sign of repulsion. And our meeting point will be as usual, neutral point.

Urs truly
Mr. Physics
