A carpenter apprentice was killed when he was struck in the head by a nail that was fired from a powder actuated tool. The tool

operator, while attempting to anchor a plywood form in preparation for pouring a concrete wall, fired the gun, causing the nail to pass through the hollow wall. The nail traveled some twenty-seven feet before striking the victim. The tool operator had never received training in the proper use of the tool, and none of the employees in the area were wearing personal protective equipment. What should be recommended to prevent this accident from happening again?

Answer:

Explanation:

The recommendations that need to be urgently addressed by the workshop and it's employees are

1) Training of all employees (particularly the tool operators) on the safe and proper use of all tools used in the course of the carpentry work.

2) Training of all employees in health, safety and environment (HSE). This training will help them appreciate the importance of always wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) when at the workshop or during the course of a work (because if the apprentice was putting on an engineer's helmet, he could have been safe).

3) Employees who fail to adhere strictly to the use of PPE should be sanctioned or even dismissed from the workplace

What's the basic unit of the measurement of power
Jobisdone [24]

Power is the RATE at which energy changes or flows.

The unit of energy is the Joule, so a unit of power is the Joule/second.

That unit has the special name "<em>Watt</em>".

Your question is not necessarily a question. It's also a statement, You could write

"<em>Watt's the basic unit of the measurement of power</em>".

Who invented the wedge simple machine and why?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Gene Sarazen began to win tournaments in 1935 with a new club he had invented that was specialized for sand play. He is hailed as the inventor of the sand wedge.

Explanation:

A wedge is a triangular shaped tool, and is a portable inclined plane, and one of the six classical simple machines. It can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift up an object, or hold an object in place. It functions by converting a force applied to its blunt end into forces perpendicular (normal) to its inclined surfaces. The mechanical advantage of a wedge is given by the ratio of the length of its slope to its width.[1][2] Although a short wedge with a wide angle may do a job faster, it requires more force than a long wedge with a narrow angle.

The force is applied on a flat, broad surface. This energy is transported to the pointy, sharp end of the wedge, hence the force is transported.

The wedge simply transports energy and collects it to the pointy end, consequently breaking the item. In this way, much pressure is put on a thin area.

<em>1) The relationship in between the electrical energy carriesd by the transmission wires and the amount of the heat loss in it is due to the reason that when the electricity is flown through the wires there are some resistance found in these wires which creates a disturbance in the efficient flow of electricty.Also we know that current have an heating effect when it is in motion as due to if a large amount or magnitude of electricity is flown through the transmission wires it will carry a larger heat effected and also due to the resistance is provided by the wires and so the process of heat loss takes place.</em>

<em>2)It is important to minimize current in transmission wires due to minimize the heat loss and resistance on flowing electric current to make the system more efficient </em>
