How much does water weigh?

[ag]

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>I'm practicing to take the entrance exam to NACHI (National Association of Certified
Home Inspectors) one of the many questions I came across reads as follows:</p>


<p>A puddle on a flat roof is 20'X20'X1&quot; deep weighs:</p>


<p>1 Ton<br />
50 Pounds<br />
500 Pounds<br />
100 Pounds</p>


<p>Any Suggestions?&nbsp; I found that a gallon of water = 8 pounds,
and that one cubice foot of water =7.5 gallons if that helps at all.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p><br />

[BandofBrothers]

<p>20 ft x 20 ft x 1/12 ft = 33.3333 cubic feet </p><p>33.3333 cubic feet x 7.5 gallons/1 cubic foot = 250 gallons</p><p>250 gallons x 8lbs/1 gallon = 2000 lbs = 1 ton</p>

more importantly, if that hole was filled with feathers or lead, would it still be as full as it was with water? ...or something.

[Knowledged_one]

<p>Density of water 62.4 lb/ft^3</p><p>20*20*(1/12) = 33.333333ft^3</p><p>Weight = Density * Volume</p><p>Weight = 2080 lbs or roughly one ton</p>

Can a California man be legally married to his widow's sister?

[sr71blackbird]

<p>A train goes between Chicago and New York. The brakeman, the fireman and the engineer are named Smith, Jones and Brown. (The names are not necessarily in order). There are also three passengers named Mr. Smith, Mr. Jones and Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown lives in New York. The brakeman lives halfway between New York and Chicago. Mr. Jones earns exactly $20,000 per year. Smith beat the fireman at their last game of golf. The passenger who lives in Chicago has the same name as the brakeman. The brakeman's next door neighbor is a passenger on this train and earns exactly three times as much as the brakeman. What is the&nbsp;<br />name of the engineer?</p><p><font color="#ffffff"><strong>Solution<br /><br /></strong>Determine the known facts. Also notice that the passengers are noted with the title Mr., where as the brakeman, engineer and fireman are identified by their last names only.<br /><br />1. Mr Brown Lives in New York City<br />2. The brakeman lives midway between NY and Chicago<br />3. Mr. Jones earns exactly $20K per year<br />4. Smith beat the fireman at their last game of golf.<br />5. The brakeman's next-door neighbor, who is a passenger, earns exactly three times the brakeman's salary.<br />6. The passenger who lives in Chicago has the same name as the brakeman.<br /><br />According to #1 and #2, the brakeman's neighbor cannot be Mr. Brown. According to #5, the brakeman's neighbor also cannot be Mr. Jones, because $20,000 is not evenly divisible by three. This leaves Mr. Smith as the next door neighbor to the brakeman. Mr. Smith lives halfway between New York and Chicago (#2) as does the brakeman. Since Mr. Brown lives in New York, by process of elimination, it is now known that Mr. Jones lives in Chicago.&nbsp;<br />According to statement #6, this means that the brakeman is named Jones.<br /><br />According to statement #4, the fireman cannot be Smith, so the fireman must be must be Brown, which leaves Smith as the engineer.</font></p>

How much does an 8 oz glass of water weigh?<br />

[sr71blackbird]

<p>Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance. So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room. A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5. He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/replytotopic.cfm/Forum/52/Topic/48980/currentpage/getcontent.php?id=21&ans=yes"><strong><font color="#ffffff">Answer</font></strong></a><br /><font color="#ffffff">The facts in this riddle are clear: There is an initial $30 charge. It should have been $25, so $5 must be returned and accounted for. $3 is given to the 3 friends, $2 is kept by the bellhop - there you have the $5. The trick to this riddle is that the addition and subtraction are done at the wrong times to misdirect your thinking - and quite successfully for most. Each of the 3 friends did indeed pay $9, not $10, and as far as the friends are concerned, they paid $27 for the night. But we know that the clerk will tell us that they were charged only $25 and when you add the $3 returned with the $2 kept by the bellhop, you come up with $30.</font> </p>
