Fun day at work....for my workmates that is...

[kiwigtx]

Spent the day erecting new Bus Stop solar lighting, and some of the poles proved a challenge in more ways than imagined. I certainly ended up covered in crap this time.
Digging the footings are part of the fun - lucky it's Winter time and the ground is soft still.

The best was yet to come....
A simple maths equation for you to solve;

Water weighs 1kg per 1 litre
Pole height = 3.000m
Pole diameter 65mm, wall thickness 3.2mm
Hole at base = 6.0mm diameter
Hole height from bottom = 50mm
Air temperature - 17 degrees Centigrade
Elevation = 25m above sea level

What is the water pressure at the time of release?

Here's a clue......

Just gotta ask........but why would it matter if the pole is just holding a sign?

Looks like ya did a nice job!!

you must have been sleepy when you put your boots on this morning...ya gots two different ones on!

I would try and do the calculations if the measurements were in ENGLISH!

Sorry Mar.....I'll convert it tonight just 'cause you asked

 

[MarPar]

LOL

 

[polywideblock]

enough to give ya a wet foot

fixed

Is the post full to the top?

 

[Darthomas]

Sounds like there won't be any pressure til ya melt it.

 

[kiwigtx]

Is the post full to the top?

Yes it was.

4.22 PSI 3m is 118.110236 inchs and 28 inchs to 1 PSI as height is all that counts

Ding Ding Ding....we have a Winner

If you would have drilled the hole a little more to the left, you would have been polishing that white car!

Try cutting a pipe with water in it useing a cutting torch.

Thanks for sharing!

Oh, by the by, what is a chocolate fish? (I think I'm gonna be sorry)

 

[Darthomas]

At -17 C, the pipe is full of ice, so how can you measure any pressure?

 

[Darthomas]

Minus 17 degrees Celsius is near zero degrees Fahrenheit, I didn't think it ever got that cold there, how can you be in shorts outside all day?

 

[HEMI-ITIS]

So,,,,,,,,you deal with erections all the time

 

[Darthomas]

How can grass be that green at the stated temperature?
NO snow accumulation?
The data set seems flawed somehow.
Unless you are presenting a totally random question with no reference to tge job that day.

 

[polywideblock]

it was 15*C(59*F) over here in oz yesterday (it is winter), I'm guessing it was 17 * C(62*F) not - 17*C (-1.4*F)

 

[kiwigtx]

Air temperature - 17 degrees Centigrade

Sorry...should be "Air temperature = 17 degrees Centigrade"

Man, you're starting to sound like the Granny running our office admin.
