    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_Class_12_4-8-2

    When the Class 12 was introduced, it was the largest non-articulated engine in South Africa and possibly in the world on railways of less than 4 feet 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches (1,435 millimetres) gauge. The first eight locomotives had cast steel frames for the leading bogies with three-point suspension links, similar to those of the Class 3B .

    Around 19 school boards from 14 states have adopted or adapted the books. [11] Those who wish to adopt the textbooks are required to send a request to NCERT, upon which soft copies of the books are received. The material is press-ready and may be printed by paying a 5% royalty, and by acknowledging NCERT. [11]

    A free vector is a vector quantity having an undefined support or region of application; it can be freely translated with no consequences; a displacement vector is a prototypical example of free vector. Aside from the notion of units and support, physical vector quantities may also differ from Euclidean vectors in terms of metric.

    The first formal examination was conducted in South Africa under the University of the Cape of Good Hope in 1858. [ 1 ] In general usage, the school-leaving exams, which are government-administered, are known as the "matric exams"; by extension, students in the final year of high school ( grade 12 ) are known as "matriculants" or, more commonly ...

    The two-body problem is solved by formulas involving parameters; their values can be changed to study the class of all solutions, that is, the mathematical structure of the problem. Moreover, an accurate mental or drawn picture can be made for the motion of two bodies, and it can be as real and accurate as the real bodies moving and interacting.
