AND SOLUTIONS
◉ Consider two aluminum wires. Wire #1 has a length L and a cross-
sectional area A. Wire #2 has a length 2L and a cross-sectional area A/3.
Determine the ratio of the resistivity of wire #1 to the resistivity of wire
#2.
a. 1/6
b. 1/18
c. 6
d. 1
e. 3/2 . Answer: d. 1
Resistance is proportional to Length
Resistance is inversely proportional to Cross Sectional Area
RESISTIVITY is a property that is solely material dependent
◉ Wire strain gauges are based on the fact that:
,a. The resistance of a wire is proportional to its length.
b. If you apply strain to a wire, stress will result and the resistance of the
wire will quadruple.
c. The resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to its length.
d. The resistance of a wire is proportional to its diameter.
e. The resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to its diameter. .
Answer: a. The resistance of a wire is proportional to its length.
◉ "The pressure applied to a confined incompressible fluid is
transmitted undiminished to all the points in the fluid and to the walls of
its container."
The above sentence is a statement of which principle?
a. Continuity principle
b. Pascal's principle
c. Archimedes' principle
d. Imbert-Fick principle
e. Bernoulli's principle . Answer: b. pascals principle
◉ _____________________ is an increase in the intra-pericardial
pressure due to excessive fluid buildup in the pericardial space.
,a. tension pneumothorax
b. decompression sickness
c. cardiac tamponade
d. shock
e. cardiogenic shock . Answer: c. cardiac tamponade
◉ Which of the following is a TRUE statement regarding accident-
prevention training in the workplace?
a. It is fundamentally more important for experienced employees to
receive requalification training than for new employees to receive initial
training.
b. Accidents are statistically prone to occur more frequently when
workers have recently started a new job.
c. OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.38 requires that general safety-related
training be conducted at regular annual intervals.
d. None of the above. . Answer: B: Accidents are statistically prone to
occur more frequently when workers have recently started a new job;
thus, it is most imperative that robust safety training regimens be
rendered prior to such employees commencing work. Employees new to
a job need to be effectively trained on how to perform their tasks in a
correct fashion and what procedures need to be followed in the event of
an incident. They also need to be made aware that safety is of highest
priority within their company culture.
, ◉ Which of the following is generally NOT true with regard to worksite
safety inspections?
a. Inspectors are typically independent entities that do not have a direct
affiliation with the organization or entity undergoing inspection.
b. Inspections are usually conducted by personnel who have robust
knowledge, training, and/or experience within the subject area
undergoing inspection.
c. Inspections can either be scheduled or unscheduled.
d. Inspections, by design, should always be detail oriented in nature. .
Answer: D: Worksite safety inspections are usually conducted by
inspectors who are independent entities that do not have a direct
affiliation with the organization or entity being inspected, and are
likewise typically conducted by personnel who have robust knowledge,
training, and/or experience within the subject area undergoing
inspection. Moreover, inspections can be either scheduled or
unscheduled, and can be either detail-oriented OR generalized in nature.
◉ Which of the following is an excellent preventive measure/policy to
employ for reducing the likelihood of a slipping incident?
a. Prohibiting the wearing of high-heels in areas regularly subjected to
large degrees of moisture
b. Using slip-resistant floor-cleaning products
c. Having the floor custodian email regular updates/warnings to
potentially affected employees
