Chapter 14, Problem 1RQ
When using a rod type float switch, how is the amount float movement required to open or close the contacts adjusted?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The method of adjusting the amount of float movement that requires to open or close the contacts.
Explanation of Solution
Float switches are the switches that control the operation of a pump with respect to the level of liquid present in the storage tank or sump. In rod type float switches, a float is connected to a rod that moves up or down according to the level of liquid present in a tank or sump, thereby opening or closing the contacts of a float switch.
Before employing a float switch, the amount of movement of float that is required to open or close the contacts of a float switch should be defined and configured. The configuration of float movement is achieved by adjusting the stops provided on the rod.
Thus, the amount of float movement that is required to open or close the contacts is equal to the distance between the stops of a float rod. By adjusting the stops of a float rod, one can vary the amount of float movement.

Q2/ Maria has an online shop where she sells hand made paintings and
cards. She sells the painting for 50 and the card for 20. It takes her 2 hours
to complete 1 painting and 45 minutes to make a single card. She also has
a day job and makes paintings and cards in her free time. She cannot spend
more than 15 hours a week to make paintings and cards. Additionally, she
should make not more than 10 paintings and cards per week.
She makes a profit of 25 on painting and 15 on each card. How many
paintings and cards should she make each week to maximize her profit.
