Chapter 1, Problem 1.8P
We often see packaging labeled “made from 100% recycled materials “or Made with recyclable materials. The objective is, of course. ‘to make you (the consumer) believe that the company is environmentally conscious and caring and, thus, to make you buy more of its products.
a. Why are such statements as the ones quoted above potentially misleading? What questions would you want to ask the company to determine if it truly is helping with materials recycling?
b. All things considered, if the statements are true, why ought you buy the company products in prefer. ence to products with no recycled material Be specific.
c. If you were working for the corn. pany, how would you write the statements to be more accurate?

The rectangular gate shown in figure rotates about an axis through N. If a=3.3 ft,b=1.3 ft, d=2 ft, and the width perpendicular to the plane of the figure is 3 ft, what torque(applied to the shaft through N) is required to hold the gate closed?
An elevated tank feeds a simple pipe system as shown. There is a fire hydrant atpoint C. The minimum allowable pressure at point C is 22 psig for firefighting requirements.What are the maximum static head (in ft) as well as pressure (in psig) at point C (i.e. nodischarge in the system)? Do we meet the pressure requirement for firefighting? (Please donot worry about L or d in the figure below)
