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

The amount of charge that passes through the filament of a certain lightbulb in 2.00 s is 1.67 C. If the current is supplied by
Artemon [7]

Answer:

E = 20.03 J

Explanation:

Given that,

The amount of charge that passes through the filament of a certain lightbulb in 2.00 s is 1.67 C,

Voltage, V = 12 V

We need to find the energy delivered to the lightbulb filament during 2.00 s.

The energy delivered is given by :

E=I^2Rt. ....(1)

As,

I=\dfrac{q}{t}\\\\I=\dfrac{1.67}{2}\\\\I=0.835\ A

As per Ohm's law, V = IR

R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{12}{0.835}\\\\R=14.37\ \Omega

Using formula (1).

E=0.835^2\times 14.37\times 2\\\\=20.03\ J

So, the energy delivered to the lightbulb filament is 20.03 J.

Using the experimentally determined resonant frequency and measured value of the capacitor, find the value of the inductor. 4. d
mafiozo [28]

2.496 HZ is the resistance change the resonant frequency.

Given, Supply frequency, f = 60 12

number of poles, P = 4

Full load speed, Ne= 1725 rpm

Synchronous speed; No= 1201= 120X60 = 1800 rpm

P

4

We know the formula for Full load-speed

Ne = N's (1 - Sf)

where se = full load rotor ship

Ne = 1 - SP

SQ = 1- Ne = 1- 1725 = 0.0416 DY 4-16%

1800

SQ= 4. 16 % or 0.0416

Frequency of rotor, fy= Sgif = (0.0416) ( 60 ) = 2.496 Hz

fr = 2.496 HZ

A ball is dropped from the top of a tower 40 m high. What is its velocity when it has covered 20 m? What would be its velocity w
stellarik [79]

Given :

Height from which ball is dropped , h = 40 m .

Acceleration due to gravity , g= 10 m/s² .

Initial velocity , u = 0 m/s .

To Find :

Velocity when ball covered 20 m and velocity when it hit the ground .

Solution :

Now , height when ball covered 20 m distance is , 40 - 20 = 20 m .

By equation of motion :

v^2=u^2+2gh\\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 10\times 20}\ m/s\\\\v=20\ m/s

Now , distance covered when body reaches ground is , 40 m .

Putting value h = 40 m in above equation , we get :

v=\sqrt{2\times 10\times 40}\ m/s\\\\v=20\sqrt{2}\ m/s

Hence , this is the required solution .
