Accurate Answers
0.434 psi correct answer You're presented with a column of water 3 ft by 3 ft with
a height of 1 ft The water pressure of this column equals:
1. activate the appropriate turn signal
2. check for traffic while on the entrance ramp
3. check your side and rear view mirrors correct answer identify three things you
would do when entering a limited access highway
1. an MWS apparatus equipped with fire pump must have a tank to pump line at
least 2 in in diameter and capable of supplying the pump with 500 GPM unit at
least 80% of water in the tank is emptied
2. NMWS apparatus must be equipped with at least one external fuel connection
connected into the tank that allows the tank to be filled at a minimum rate of
1000 GPM
3. The external fuel connection should be equipped with a valve strainer and 30°
elbow
