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

Suppose that you are swimming in a river while a friend watches from the shore. In calm water, you swim at a speed of 1.25 m/s .
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: The observing friend will the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s.

Explanation:

  • Let <em>S</em> be the speed of the swimmer, given as 1.25 m/s
  • Let S_{0} be the speed of the river's current given as 1.00 m/s.

  • Note that this speed is the magnitude of the velocity which is a vector quantity.
  • The direction of the swimmer is upstream.

Hence the resultant velocity is given as, S_{R} = S — S 0S_{0}

S_{R} = 1.25 — 1

S_{R} = 0.25 m/s.

Therefore, the observing friend will see the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s due to resistance produced by the current of the river.

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

6g/cm³

Explanation:

Density is the mass per unit volume of any substance. To solve this problem:

   

   Density  = \frac{mass}{volume}  

 Since mass = 600g

Let us find the volume;

    Volume  = length x width x height

   Volume  = 25cm x 2cm x 2cm  = 100cm³  

Therefore;

         Density  = \frac{600}{100}    = 6g/cm³
