Help Needed...

08/18/2014 7:13 PM

I need to find out how to solve this problem. The questions is pertaining to the HVAC Duct Construction Standards 3rd Edition (2005).

If anyone can give me the formulas and the step-by-step process of how to solve this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.

Once again, I do know the answer to this question, but I don't know how that answered is derived.

Thank you.

I don't think we can blow up the image.

To clarify, I'll re-write the question:

A contractor is to construct a tank using the information shown below, the number of pounds of steel that will be required is __________. Select the closest answer.

a) Less than 1,000 lbs.

b) 1,001 to 1,500 lbs.

c) 1,501 to 2,000 lbs.

d) over 2,000 lbs.

The image is pretty big, so I won't re-write that part.

Easy.

Just take the volume of the metal x the specific garvity. (Matweb will give you this)

You know the thickness, so just figure the volume from the dimensions provided.

If you already know the answer, I don't understand your dilemma.

Let's say I HOPE I don't understand your dilemma.

Maybe you should consider becoming a plumber. They only need to know three things.

1. smell goes up.

2. s%it goes down.

3. payday is on Friday.
