You can review the answers, and it shows you which were incorrect.  I missed
one, but I've got an argument.  It was the one that asked which would take
the least force, lifting the weight with no pulleys, with one pulley at a
90° angle, or with two pulleys, one at a 90° pull, the other with the rope
hitting it on a tangent.  I answered the one with no pulleys, because of the
added drag the pulleys would introduce.  TECHNICALLY, I'm right - but they
wanted the answer "they're all the same".

I sent the site a note about the error. They changed the question. Used
to be two boxes, now two triangles, and standing on their pointy ends so
it's clear where the force is applied to the horizontal beam.

The correct answer previously, with the boxes, was 60kg. That answer
wasn't among the choices.

Wouldn't it be 100 kg? If box A has 1/3 the leverage that box B has and they
balance, box B weighs 1/3 the amount of box A. 1/3 of 300 kg is 100 kg. How
did you get 60 kg?

The boxes are 2 X 2 squares, but we don't see the depth of the boxes.
They could be flat as old 33 1/3 LP record albums, so imagine that they
are. Now turn them 90* and look at them edgewise.

Sorry, the vertical edges appear just a bit offset between the [][] in
my pic, but you can see that A has 1/5 the leverage of B.

The width of the boxes fools you, but it's their CG that matters. That's
why the original question was so good, and the one with triangles isn't.
Frank Will - 27 Oct 2007 03:59 GMT
OK, when I checked out the test it had the triangles, so I don't know what
it looked like before.  Looking at what you drew using standard keyboard
symbols, it seems to me that box B is 3 times the distance from the fulcrum
compared to box A.  Wouldn't that make box B 1/3 the weight (100kg)?  That's
assuming that the beam has no mass.

I'm new to news groups, but know a little about fixed width versus
preportional width fonts, so I cut and pasted your picture into a fixed
width font program and it looked the same to me.   I apologize if I'm not
getting the picture.  As I see it, the left side of box A aligns with the
4th "[".  In other words there seem to be 3 "[]" units to the left of box A.
At any rate, as I see your picture, it's the same as the test with the
triangles.

I must admit, it was a fun test.  If it hadn't been a multiple choice test,
I might have missed the mutliple pulley question.  Fortunately, while trying
to reconcile my answer to one of the choices, I found the "view larger
image" option and it made sense (I don't want to give away the answer to
anyone else who may try the test).

It would, if B was 3 times the distance. But it's 5 times.

The beam is centered on the fulcrum.

Each [] of the beam is one unit.
Box A covers two [], there are four more [] to the left of A.
Box B also covers two [], and there are four [] to the left of B.

They made the triangles fit the old answer, rather than change the
answer to fit the old boxes. Too bad.

It's an easy one now, nothing special about it.

What do you think about question 44, with the water rising higher in
tube A or B? I think that tube B will suck air.

IIRC, the answer they wanted was something like "water in A would rise
higher than B" which would be correct even if B was sucking air.  I also
think B would suck air as that is how an in-line foam eductor is designed
(not to suck air, but foam concentrate).

It's like the vacuum apparatus we used in chemistry lab. Always bothered
me to watch that water go right down the drain.

Frank Will - 30 Oct 2007 03:02 GMT
I assumed both tubes vented to air.  If water is "rapidly pumped" through
the main tube, it's pressure will be high as compared to the air, which
means that it will look for any exit point   The venturi will lower the
pressure thus, higher in A than in B seemed like the correct answer

An interesting experiment would be to fill the system with mercury, make
sure that tubes A and B were over 33 inches long, cap tubes A and B, and
ensure that the main tube had a reservoir at least 33 inches high.  The
level of the mercury in tubes A and B and the main reservoir open to the
atmosphere should be the same.  Then turn on the pump and measure the height
of the mercury in tubes A, B and the main reservoir.  I guess that the level
in tube A would drop, the level in B would drop more that in A, and the main
reservoir would rise.

You draw this one.

Looks like they do, nothing says they don't.

Why?

It's a carburetor. B sucks gas unless the float bowl's empty. Then it
sucks air.

Something has to move the water through.  It's going through a horizontal
tube, so it's not gravity moving the water, it has to be pressure.  If it
were atmospheric pressure, it wouldn't move, because the pressure at the
inlet and out let would be the same. I think.

I'm thinking about my garden hose and sprinkler system.  Granted, there are
no venturis in it (I hope), but when one sprinkler breaks off, a lot of
water comes out that pipe, but the other sprinklers still have some coming
out.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a carburator has air flowing past the venturi
and draws liquid gasoline, not the other way around as in the question.  If
you turned the whole thing upside down and put the small tubes in water it
would be more like a carburator.

I think this is a great experiment to run with my grand daughter.  This can
easily be made out of PVC, and clear hose.  I can also show her how blowing
across the top of a piece of paper will cause it to rise.  I'll have to find
a few more experiments we can do before her family comes for Thanksgiving.

What if the pipe spun around its inlet end, like a centrifuge, sucking
water up into the inlet, thru a 90* elbow, then flinging it outward?

The aspirator thingy works on an air line too. The wikipedia article
says you can create stronger vacuum running a gas thru the aspirator
than a liquid, due to the vapor pressure of a liquid.

Why would you possibly think that the only women are retired. The females

Nothing wrong with an ar. I was using mine in some three gun shoots this
summer and it was great. I could never use one of these bolt guns for that.
I just like some of these old warhorses that go "boom" and have a kick to

Yup, this stuff in the air is enough to keep everybody off the beach. Seems
to be clearing up as of late yesterday. I might take a walk and see how the
air is.

sh.t we have a garage! Friggin' thing is full of box's. I lost the dog for a
hour in there. A 2 car garage and both cars are in the driveway. WTF is up
with that! Gonna be some serious downseizing going on. Actually we
downsiezed the house but not the contents. Gonna take a week or two more to
get things figured out, but it will get done.

I hear that... We filled a 53' trailer to move here..

The house in the States was only 1,400 sf plus a garage and the house here is
1,600+ sf with the shop, but we went from a 3 bedroom 2 bath with den to a 2
bedroom, 2 bath and great room..
No place to hide sh.t.. no "hall closets", attic, etc...

We did a 30 foot with no furniture, with the exception of the wide screen
and our bed. The rest was stuff, garage stuff, gun stuff, Sue's cooking
stuff(which was a lot), just more stuff.

We went the other way. From a 2,500'+ house with a 28x26 foot garage and a
10x14 shed, to a 1,600' house and a 20x22 foot garage.

It just isn't going to fit!! But Sue is trying. Told her I'd screw around
with it for one more day then I'm going to be at the beach. Hell I have the
garage cleaned up.<VBG>

Actually, we couldn't even fit our stuff in the 53' trailer... and we took maybe
4 pieces of furniture.. lol
We had to leave the washer & dryer, a couple of cabinets and a bunch of stuff
that just wouldn't fit in the semi, the ram or the blazer.. We even sent our
neighbor down in the Dakota with a load..

Our tools took a lot of space, though... and cost us an extra $600 duty at the
border...

We've already got rid of quite a bit of stuff in the last year... A lot of it
was stuff that would have gone to AM Vets or somebody, but we figured that folks
down here needed it more..
We gave away 3 old window AC units and you wouldn't believe how much difference
they made to peoples lives... especially since 2 were to pregnant ladies that
were due during the summer... yuk!

I guess another difference in our moves is we're 120 miles from wally world or
home depot, so I wasn't going to leave a single nut, bolt, bracket, etc. in the
states..

I hear ya bro! I'm looking all over the place for a electrical
lug/connector for the lights on the cart. My kid grabbed mine, figured I
wouldn't need them. Sue is shopping about 20 miles away , called her and she
will hit WW and grab one of those assortments. It just never ends. But there
is no friggin' snow.<G>

Come on down.. I have what you need..lol

In my old neighborhood in the States, I was the guy they came to see before
trying the hardware store... Much more so here..
I never throw anything away until I've got any screws or whatever out of it and
sorted 'em..

Well, I guess if helium can be weightless, then just about anything's
possible  :)

92 for me... (must've) misread one question I got wrong... wasn't watching
what I was clicking on another I got wrong.  Thankfully, since my profession
is in RF engineering, I aced the "Electricical" questions. :))

I missed the worm gear.  Also, I didn't like that they wanted to measure
force in kg - that should have been newtons or pounds.

I don't know about snowman, but Tom L. is stuck. In fact, this whole
thread went off-topic, like there's suddenly no interest in the test any
more.
