Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 7, Problem 1RQ
Explanation of Solution
Features of simple network:
- The client computers, server computer, network
operating system software, network interfaces, hub, and a connection medium are the entities of a simple network. - The basic responsibility of network operating system software is to control the network and its functions.
- One client computer is connected to another client computer within the same network.
- Hubs and switches function are to send packets of data to all other linked devices.
- The network helps web pages to store data and network operating system.
- The switch has the capability to select a particular destination while the hub sends a packet to all other linked devices.
- The network components links with the connection mediums such as coaxial cables, radio signals or telephone wires.
- The Microsoft Window Server, Linux and Novell Open Enterprise Server are the most commonly used network operating system software...
Explanation of Solution
Principal technologies and trends:
Some of the principal technologies and trends which have shaped contemporary telecommunications systems are as follows:
- Client/ Server computing
- Packet switching
- TCP/ IP and Connectivity
Client/ Server computing:
- Client/ Server computing is defined as a distributed computing model where a part of the processing power is placed within cheap client computers and exist in laptops, handled devices or desktops.
- It also allows for computing to departments, factory floors, workgroups and other parts of a business that couldn’t be worked by a centralized architecture.
- The clients are linked to other clients through networks that is controlled by a network server computer.
- It has replaced by centralized mainframe computer.
- The process of the client/ server computing has no longer taken place on a central large mainframe computer.
Packet Switching:
- Messages transferring in the internet are divided into fixed size unit of data called packets.
- Messages are divided into packets to increase the performance and reliability of the internet.
- Ιt also improves the effectiveness of the communication line in the internet.
- Packets travel through several routers before it reaches the destination...

Although you measure your products in kilograms, you often get orders in both pounds and ounces. You have decided that rather than have to look up conversions all the time, you could use Python code to take inputs to make conversions between the different units of measurement. You will write three blocks of code. The first will convert kilograms to pounds and ounces. The second will convert pounds to kilograms and ounces. The third will convert ounces to kilograms and pounds. The conversions are as follows: 1 kilogram = 35.274 ounces 1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds 1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms 1 pound = 16 ounces 1 ounce = 0.0283 kilograms 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds For the purposes of this activity the template for a function has been provided.
