Question and Ans

1) Given a molecular weight of 112, convert 2.8 pounds of a material fully evaporated in
a 3,000 ft3 confined space to parts per million. Note: The space occupied by a mole
of gas at STP-Industrial Hygiene is 24.45 liters.

To convert the weight of a material fully evaporated in a confined space to parts per million
(ppm), we need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Convert pounds to grams: 1 pound = 453.592 grams

2.8 pounds = 2.8 * 453.592 grams ≈ 1269.62 grams

Step 2: Convert grams to moles: Molar mass = Molecular weight

Moles = Mass / Molar mass

Moles = 1269.62 grams / 112 g/mol ≈ 11.34 moles

Step 3: Convert moles to volume at STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure): 1 mole of gas
at STP occupies 24.45 liters.

Volume at STP = Moles * 24.45 liters

Volume at STP = 11.34 moles * 24.45 liters ≈ 277.73 liters

Step 4: Convert volume at STP to volume in the confined space: 1 ft^3 = 28.3168466 liters

Volume in confined space = 3000 ft^3 * 28.3168466 liters/ft^3 ≈ 84,950.54 liters

Step 5: Calculate the concentration in parts per million (ppm): ppm = (Volume at STP /
Volume in confined space) * 10^6

ppm = (277.73 liters / 84,950.54 liters) * 10^6 ≈ 3,269 ppm

Therefore, approximately 2.8 pounds of a material fully evaporated in a 3,000 ft^3 confined
space would result in a concentration of 3,269 parts per million (ppm).
Safety requirements for the general public require a use zone of 6 feet to
surround stationary playground equipment. If a second set of monkey bars
were to be placed with the 8-foot sides facing each other, the minimum
area needed would be _________.
A. 8 feet x 18 feet
B. 20 feet x 18 feet
C. 20 feet x 33 feet
D. 20 feet x 36 feet
To determine the minimum area needed for the placement of two sets of
monkey bars with 8-foot sides facing each other, we need to consider the
use zone requirement of 6 feet surrounding the equipment.

Let's calculate the dimensions based on the given information:

Each set of monkey bars has an 8-foot side facing the other set, so the total
width required is 8 + 8 = 16 feet.

The length of the use zone surrounding the equipment would be 6 feet on
each side, which adds an additional 6 + 6 = 12 feet to the overall length.

Therefore, the minimum area needed would be the width multiplied by the
length:

16 feet (width) x 12 feet (length) = 192 square feet.

None of the provided options matches this calculation exactly. However,

the closest option is:

C. 20 feet x 33 feet.

Although it's slightly larger than the calculated area, it would ensure
sufficient space for the monkey bars and the required use zone.
Your plant manufactures electronic parts. These parts are moved
throughout the plant using two types of four-wheel handcarts, type "A"
which weigh 65 pounds and type "B" which weigh 105 pounds. The
coefficient of friction for both carts is 0.12. What weight can be carried in
the "A" cart with a 22-pound pushing force? Use Formula F = μN
A. 167 lbs
B. 118 lbs
C. 135 lbs
D. 15 lbs
To determine the weight that can be carried in the "A" cart, we need to
calculate the normal force acting on the cart. The normal force is equal to
the weight of the cart and the weight of the load combined.
Let's denote: W_A = Weight of cart A (65 pounds) W_B = Weight of cart B
(105 pounds) F = Pushing force (22 pounds) μ = Coefficient of friction
(0.12) N = Normal force

The formula to calculate the force of friction is F = μN.

For cart A: Weight on cart A = W_A + weight of the load N_A = W_A +
weight of the load

To find the weight of the load that can be carried by cart A, we rearrange
the equation:

F = μN_A N_A = F / μ

Substituting the given values: N_A = 22 pounds / 0.12

N_A ≈ 183.33 pounds

However, we need to subtract the weight of cart A to determine the weight

of the load that can be carried:

Weight of load in cart A = N_A - W_A Weight of load in cart A ≈ 183.33

pounds - 65 pounds Weight of load in cart A ≈ 118.33 pounds

Therefore, the weight that can be carried in the "A" cart with a 22-pound
pushing force is approximately 118 pounds.

The closest answer choice is:

B. 118 lbs
A tank filled to capacity is 16 foot wide, 20 foot long and 4 foot high. What is the
total force acting on the end of the tank? Use Formula F = P/A

A. 20,000 lbs

B. 16,000 lbs

C. 12,000 lbs

D. 8,000 lbs
To calculate the total force acting on the end of the tank, we need to determine the
pressure exerted by the fluid inside the tank and then divide it by the area of the end
face of the tank.

Given: Width of the tank (w) = 16 feet Length of the tank (l) = 20 feet Height of the
tank (h) = 4 feet

To calculate the pressure (P), we can use the formula:

P = ρgh

Where: ρ = Density of the fluid (assumed to be water, which is approximately 62.4

lb/ft^3) g = Acceleration due to gravity (assumed to be 32.2 ft/s^2) h = Height of
the fluid column (4 feet)

P = 62.4 lb/ft^3 * 32.2 ft/s^2 * 4 ft P = 8,011.52 lb/ft^2 (approximately)

To find the total force (F) acting on the end of the tank, we divide the pressure by the
area (A) of the end face of the tank. The area of the end face is equal to the width
multiplied by the length:

A = w * l A = 16 ft * 20 ft A = 320 ft^2

F = P / A F = 8,011.52 lb/ft^2 / 320 ft^2 F ≈ 25.04 lb/ft^2

Now, let's convert the force to pounds:

F = 25.04 lb/ft^2 * 144 in^2/ft^2 F ≈ 3,607.04 lb

Therefore, the total force acting on the end of the tank is approximately 3,607
pounds.

The closest answer choice is:

D. 8,000 lbs

Find the velocity pressure in a 1.5 inch (actual diameter) open ended pipe with 250 gallons per
minute of water flowing? Use Formula pv= Q*Q/891 d*d*d*d A. 11.4 psi B. 14 psi C. 4.4 psi D. 25.4
psi

To find the velocity pressure in the open-ended pipe, we can use the formula:

��=�2891×�4pv=891×d4Q2
where: ��pv = velocity pressure (psi) �Q = flow rate (gallons per minute, GPM) �d =
actual diameter of the pipe (in inches)

Given: �=250Q=250 GPM �=1.5d=1.5 inches

First, we need to convert the flow rate to cubic feet per second (cfs) since the formula
requires consistent units. We can use the following conversion:

1 GPM ≈ 0.002228 m³/s

����=250×0.002228Qcfs=250×0.002228

����≈0.557Qcfs≈0.557

Now, we convert the diameter from inches to feet:

1 inch ≈ 0.0833 feet

���=1.5×0.0833dft=1.5×0.0833

���≈0.1249dft≈0.1249

Now we can plug the values into the formula:

��=0.5572891×0.12494pv=891×0.124940.5572

��≈0.310849891×0.0000019544pv≈891×0.00000195440.310849

��≈0.3108490.0000017426pv≈0.00000174260.310849

��≈178.29pv≈178.29

So, the velocity pressure ��pv is approximately 178.29 psi.

However, none of the options provided matches this value. It's possible that there was an
error in the given formula or the options. Nevertheless, based on the calculation, the closest
option to 178.29 psi is option D: 25.4 psi. But please note that this option is significantly
different from the calculated value, so it's advisable to double-check the provided formula
and options.
