How many meters of water is 1 bar?
P=rho*g*h
P= pressure
rho= density = 1000 kg/m^3 at about 20C
g= gravitational constant on earth at sea level = 9.81 m/s^2
h= height
P=1 bar=1x10^5 Pascals = 1x10^5 N/m^2 (based on the definition of the Pascal unit)
since by definition 1 Newton= 1 kg*m/s^2
1x10^5 N/m^2= 1x10^5 kg*m^2/(m^3*s)= 1x10^5 kg/(m^2*s)
1x10^5 kg/(m^2*s) = 1000 kg/m^3 *9.81m/s^2 * h
solving for h yields:
h= 1x10^5/(1000*9.81)= 10.19367 meters
This value might vary slightly due to the affect of temperature on the density of water.
What are the advantages of AC equipment over DC equipment in arc welding?
Ac (alternating current) equipment is cheaper because you dont need rectifiers to change current from alternating current to dc (direct current) and there is no arc blow associated with ac (alternating current).
What year were clothes invented?
We in the pre-history department of the University of the Improbable have narrowed it down to... year zero. It's difficult from a mathematical perspective as well, but since the question requires a year, and clothes and people both came about before they started counting years (Jim, who sits in the cubicle across from me, thinks that clothes came before people... but hey, how likely is that? He is thinking plants/furs=clothing, when actually I hypothesize that even back then, some special arrangement of such was necessary.) ... at least according to the current calendar... that is the only possible answer. We may be wrong though, because people back then spoke a different language, and we are unable to determine for certain what the term for "year" was... if the word was zraggen (well it is impossible to actually type it with this keyboard, but "zraggen" is the closest phonetic match that I can imagine), then it is possible that people didn't catch on to body covering for quite a while... something like 918 zraggen. But then again, that's one of the reasons that Jim doesn't think that zraggen means year... some of the references are to certain people being 832 zraggen, etc... and no one lives that long. At least now, and we are inferring that nutrition was worse back then. Of course all of this is hypothetical, and Jim has this absurd theory that zraggen actually means kumquat (okay, not completely absurd... some cycle of the kumquat tree that might also be a calculation of time... but still: "kumquat"??) Anyway, so even if he is right, we have no idea what the cycle equals out to, and if the word in their language was actually "moltidg" (again, closest approximation), which I sort of doubt, but have absolutely no evidence for excluding... just a gut feeling... then clothes were invented exactly the same day as people... just later in the afternoon. And since no historian worth his salt would be able to give you an exact year of when people showed up (the ancient writings are hotly contested on this subject)... year zero seems pretty safe. Of course, all the years up till now would have to be re-numbered to adjust for our theory... but anything else just doesn't make sense. Human history should start with humans, right? Not go back into negative numbers.
Difference between reverse engineering and re engineering?
Reverse engineering is when you have an existing item and you strip it down to see how it's made so that you can copy it and make more.
Reengineering is a term applied to altering the practices and/ or methods of a company or a business - it's not something that engineers do. It's, essentially, technobabble talk for "changing the way the company does things".
What does plastic memory mean?
If you heat a type of plastic and bend it and let it cool down bent it will stay bent, but if you hold the bent plastic on or over the heat it will bend back so it's straight again
Factors that influence the design process?
Designs need to satisfy the following in varying degrees: User needs and desires; Manufacture; Business; Environment and Social concerns; Designers own beliefs, values and need for expression.
When was the first engine ever made?
Producing mechanical motion by means of 8low pressure) steam goes back over 2000 years, but early devices were not practical. Centuries after, the Spanish inventor Jerónimo de Ayans y Beaumont patented in 1606 the first steam engine. In 1698 Thomas Savery patented a steam pump that used steam in direct contact with the water being pumped. The first commercial true steam engine using a piston, and was used in 1712 for pumping in a mine and was made by Thomas Newcomen.
What is the color code for hot water pipe line?
Typically there is no colour code. Any fresh water line running into your house is drinkable unless you have a reuse system. DON'T DRINK FROM IRRIGATION some citys use reclaimed water (grey water I.e. from showers and washing your hands) for irrigation.
ONLY Civilized countries use color codes
Countries with a bonifide plumbers guild and actually have a test for the masters licenses have color codes to prevent cross contamination of potable and non potable water systems.
Depending on which code one uses will dictate the color coding OR metal tags
stating safe water or Unsafe water. Round for safe triangle for Unsafe
The reason for color coding is in high rise building there is a variety of piping systems such as fire suppression , potable , gray water, Combined fire systems (stand pipe and sprinkler) Fuel - gas - oil - steam and industrial lines such as pneumatic lines for controls
The AWWA for example has under ground piping codes so in countries that have an established infrastructure workers know which piping are for utilities and waste and water supply rather then taking a chance of cutting into a wrong line
What do factories use robots for?
It depends on what type of robot is being referred to. There are some that are simple and some that are very complex. Robots are designed to do tasks that people may or not be able to do for themselves. They are used to build cars, dismantle bombs, pack boxes, answer phones, mow yards, explore deep sea ship wrecks and many other things.
Robots help us in 3 ways. First, they do the jobs that are dull. Second, they do jobs that are dangerous. Finally, they do the jobs that are dirty. Besides this, some robots (like RoboFisher) may be controlled at the distance of thousand miles away.
How documents are obtained and how to check that they are current and valid?
The drawings and documentation are delivered to the tool room once they are finished. To ensure the documents are correct these have to be stamped, dated and signed by the creator of the documentation.

fourth inversion-hand pump
What was unique about Francis Lowell's mill?
It was the first mill in the world to turn raw cotton into finished cloth.
Why is it called a building if it is already built?
I say it is called a building after it is built because you'd have to BUILD the tall structure in order to call it a building
Rules for using the pillar drill?
Pillar Drill Safety Rules. -Tie long hair back. -Goggles and guards must be worn when using machine. -Only on eperson using drill. -Remember to clamp work when drilling. -When in use non users must be 1 meter and away from machine. -Drilling metal always needs a center punch mark and wood will benefit from one.
Who should you report to in the event of problems that you cannot resolve?
After problem solving solutions have been exhausted eg: Advice was sought. Supporting literature was read. Procedural steps had been taken and have proved unsuccessful. Your line/dept manager should be informed.
What is mechanical engeneering?
Mechanical Engineering is a discipline of engineering that applies the principles of engineering, physics and material sciences for analysis, design, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systems. It involves the production and usage of heat and mechanical power for the design, production and operation of machines and tools.
What is potentiometric transducer?
It converts linear or angular motion into a changing resistance which may be converted directly to voltage and/or current signals
Who designed the steam engine?
James Watt (1736-1819) is credited with the 1765 improvement of the steam engines of Thomas Newcomen (1664-1729), which dated from 1712. The efficiency of the Watt engine led to its wide industrial use after Watt partnered with Matthew Boulton in 1775.
