How many feet is oil tank buried in ground?

If you live on an old farm or a residence that housed a lot of motor vehicles, there may be an oil tank buried in the ground that was used to fuel machines. These tanks can corrode over time and leech unwanted toxins into the groundwater, or one may be taking up space where you'd like to build. Either way, you can safely remove an in-ground oil tank with a few tools from the hardware store and one or two strong friends. it would be around 40 feet in ground


In order to reach a roof that's located 24 feet above the ground the ladder used must extend to a height of at least?

Assuming it is a two section ladder then it must therefore have a minimum length of 28 feet.


What is the height of a 220 kv tower?

It depends on the country you're in (what codes apply), local utility standards, land being crossed (is it hilly?), type of structure/configuration of wires, and the distance between towers. At its' lowest point, the conductor could hang ~25 feet off the ground.

A 300 foot support cable needs to be anchored in the ground from a tower is 275 feet high Find the distance along the ground where the cable should be anchored?

The answer is 119.9. All you have to do is use Pythagorean theorem. a^2+b^2=c^2. 275 is a, 300 is c, and you solve for b.


A tower has a 200 foot cable stretching from its top to the ground the cable is anchored 80 feet from the base of the tower how tall is the tower?

The cable makes a right triangle with the ground and the tower. You'd be using the Pythagorean theorem (a2+b2=c2) c is the cable (200') and use 80' as either a or b.a2+802=2002a2=2002-802a2=40000-6400a2=33600a=183.3' rounded

If a radio transmission tower is 190 feet tall how long should a guy wire be if it is to be attached 9 feet from the top and is to make an angle of 21 degrees with the ground?

A guy wire attached to a tower 181 feet from the base (190 - 9) and making an angle of 21 degrees with respect to the ground is 505 feet long. sin (21) = 181 / x x = 181 / sin (21) Note: An angle of 21 degrees with respect to the ground is unrealistic. It is probably more correct to say 21 degrees with respect to the tower, which is 69 degrees with respect to the ground. In this case, the guy wire is 194 feet long.


A guy wire from the top of the transmission tower at WJBC forms a 75 angle with the ground at a 55-foot distance from the base of the tower.How tall is the tower?

Well, darling, you've got yourself a right triangle situation here. Using some good ol' trigonometry, you can solve for the height of the tower. The tangent of 75 degrees is equal to the height of the tower divided by the distance from the base to the point where the guy wire touches the ground. So, the height of the tower is approximately 209 feet. Voilà!

Is there a tracking device to find a non-smart phone?

I frequently misplace my phone in my apartment. To find it I call it from my landline phone and track it down from its ringing (but the battery must be charged and the phone turned on). The phone service provider can always tell the cell tower closest to any cellphone that is turned on, but the cellphone can be several miles from that tower. If you set "Location Detection" to "On" instead of "911 Only" then the cellphone will always transmit its GPS coordinates to the closest cell tower and your phone service provider can always access this information and could potentially tell you where the cellphone is to within a few feet. However I doubt most phone service providers would be willing to do this. I know of no way you could do it yourself.
