CSP 03 Physics Engineering Study Questions


1. OSHA requires handrails to be able to withstand a 200 lb force applied horizontally. A
400 lb man is leaning against a handrail. His legs are at a 75o angle with the floor. What
is the horizontal force against the handrail?

A. 52 lbs
B. 107 lbs
C. 193 lbs
D. 400 lbs

2. A chemical plant has a problem with truck drivers speeding through the facility. The
posted speed limit is 10 mph. The safety manager wants to determine how fast some of
the drivers are going, but he does not have access to a radar gun.

The safety manager measures 100 yards between the gate (where drivers must stop to
sign in) and a prominent marker. He uses a stopwatch to time one of the truck drivers
making a delivery. It takes the driver 16.4 sec to travel the distance.

Assume the driver accelerated at a constant rate and determine the final speed. Was the
driver speeding?

A. 2.3 mph
B. 25 mph
C. 37 mph
D. 50 mph

3. Workers on a pitched roof are using a rope strung across the center of the roof as an
anchor for fall protection. The roof is 30 feet wide and the anchor rope is 35 feet long.
One man weighs 150 lbs, and the second man weighs 200 lbs. When a man falls, he will
drop to the center of the anchor rope. What is the tension on the rope after both men fall?
(Assume the rope is hanging directly above the ground.)

A. 59 lbs
B. 85 lbs
C. 170 lbs
D. 340 lbs

4. A truck repair person is working on the air brakes of a tractor-trailer. The brakes have a
spring that is compressed by air. The spring is released when the air pressure drops and
applies the brakes. This is a fail-safe feature of air brakes. The spring on the brake has a
force constant of 500 lbs/in. The repair person compresses the spring 3 in. to release the
brake. The spring is accidentally released and hits the repair person in the arm.

Assume all the spring’s energy was transferred to the arm. Determine how much energy
is absorbed by the arm. If the spring hit a 10 lb bowling ball, how fast would the ball be
moving after the impact?

A. 24 mph
B. 48 mph
C. 188 mph
D. 1210 mph

5. An untrained person was repairing the ceiling above an indoor swimming pool. The
person was using an aluminum ladder and an electrical drill plugged into a 110-volt
outlet. A wet body has a resistance of about 1000 Ω.

If the person slipped and fell into the pool while holding the electrical drill, what would
be the electrical current through his body?

A. 110 mA
B. 9.1 A
C. 11 A
D. 12 A

6. A 100 foot extension cord has a wire with a diameter of 0.25 inches. The electrical
resistance of the cord is 1.0 Ω. What is the resistance of a 100 ft extension cord of the
same material with a diameter of 0.40 inches?

A. 0.39 Ω
B. 0.63 Ω
C. 1.0 Ω
D. 2.6 Ω

D. 4,000,000 Ω

8. A safety manager is presenting a capital improvement plan to the management


committee. The cost of the improvement is $100,000. If inflation continues at 4.2%,
what will be the value of the $100,000 in 10 years?

A. $95,800
B. $104,200
