Estimate the pressure exerted on a floor by the following:?
(a) one pointed chair leg (51 kg on all four legs) of area = 0.03 cm2
(b) a 1550 kg elephant standing on one foot (area = 820 cm2)
Thank you so much!
Estimate the pressure exerted on a floor by the following:?
I'm not a Math or Pysics person but I know 100% that the chair leg has WAY more pressure than the elephant foot. A high-heel will have even more pressure than the chair leg!!

Circus elephant goes mad. how come?
hi. i am in southern asia. i just came back running as fast i could from a local circus. in the circus, an elephant was to perform some tricks to entertain the crowd. as soon as the handler hit the whip to the ground to signal the elephant to dance, the elephant instead grabbed his handler by the trunk and threw him with such force that the handler was tossed at least 60 to 70 feet away. unfortunately the handler couldn't make it. the elephant then started breaking anything that he sees and then charged at the audience. he grabbed some unlucky few from the audience and severely mauled them. by then everyone started running away and there was lots of screaming everywhere. i too ran away as fast as i could and made it back. the elephant was on a rampage. what happened? why did he act this way in the midst of a circus performance?
Circus elephant goes mad. how come?
it was either in 'must' when they get aggresive, or he was abused to train him, particularly with a whip
Reply:because elephants are usually abused at circuses so he or she was making a break for it
Reply:the elephant had peanut for lunch, and it was a salted.

What can I do to teach the ppl upstairs a lesson next time they wake me up at 5am by being noisy?
Heya, last night at 5am suddenly loads of noise started upstairs, they randomly put on 1 song really loudly, then after that I heard someone, who must be the size of an elephant, jumping up and down and walking around thudding their feet, it was so loud my ceiling was creaking. Then they started playing guitar and wailing along to it, after about half an hr a taxi pulled up, someone yelled like a caveman out of the window at him, then I heard the fat guy fall down, get up and run down the stairs and get into it. I've never heard footsteps from upstairs before so this friend of theirs must have been huge cos it was soooo loud. When I got up this morning I noticed he'd left the front door to the building wide open! After that there was no noise but by this time I was wide awake. They did this the night before but last night was worse. I was just about to put on some loud music so they got the hint, but luckily then that fat guy went home. Any suggestions for if it happens again?

Why do you want to teach them a lesson? They did nothing wrong as far as they know. Go upstairs the night before and politely ask them if they would try to keep the noise down at 5am , you are trying to sleep.
Your neighbors being noisy once in awhile is nothing to complain about. Get some ear plugs
Reply:I dont think you can TEACH them anything.
First, consider talking to them and explaining the situation
Second, it sounds like you in an apartment building. Check with the landlord to see what policies, if any, apply to this situation
Thirdly, if those two don't work contact the local police agency to see if they help alleviate the problem.
Reply:If you live in a council house or housing association, make a complaint.
You could also make a recording of the noise and complain to your environmental office.
Reply:Complain to the landlord, if that dosn't work call the police, if that dosn't work call the noise abatement people in.
Reply:Firstly, only bang on your own ceiling with a broom if you are a plasterer...not recommended!
Secondly, playing your own music loud will have limited effect on someone above you, but it'll really p*ss off YOUR downstairs neighbours!
My advice ( other than simply fronting up to the f*ckwits and telling them exactly what you think of them ), would be the age-old trick of a doggie-doo in a paper bag, set fire to it, knock on their door %26amp; watch from a safe distance!!
Reply:Call the police and tell them there are minors and they have drugs. Tell them you seen them with it and alcohol.
Reply:Why don't you try approaching them, nicely, and explaining that it has annoyed you. Say why, what and where and when. Than explain that if it happens again you will be contacting the local EHO. Start keeping a diary of the noise nuisance so you ahve something to show the authorities. But try the personal approach 1st. You might not need to do any more than point out that they have annoyed you.
Reply:Firstly, reporting it to the police is pointless, they don`t care.
Don`t you have any friends who could pay them a visit - nudge, nudge :-)
Reply:WOW, First I'd like to say that I had to chuckle at the humor in this. I know there wasn't suppose to be any, because if this happened to me I would be very upset. But you had humor there..(sorry). But, to keep yourself out of trouble, next time when the noises are so loud you can't hear yourself think, call the landlord, he's the one that allowed these "cave' people in there and also call the police. I'm not a cop calling yo yo myself, but sometimes you do what you have to so your not the one in trouble. If you get along with them, or what have you, and if you think this can be done, go to them and let them know it's not appreciated to be getting woke up at 5am. If you think there is not a snowball chance in hell this will resolve anything then take other measures. Each time they do this call the person that ownes the place along with the law. I'd like to tell you what I would do, but it is very much against the law. Hope you have a better night!
Reply:You know what my cousin does? He takes the stick end of a broom and hits the ceiling with it. Next time they make noice, hit the ceiling with a broom in the middle night. That'll make them angry and hopefully they'll get the picture.
Reply:easy!! next time you hear noise..go upstairs knock on door and blast fat b@stard with shotgun...go back to bed and have a nice sleep
Reply:Hope the suggestions above work for you.
I lived with noisy neighbours for years and they drove me nuts!!! One of them used to leave his cd player on a timer so that it would turn itself on!!!!
When you bang on the ceiling............they bang back.
When you turn up the radio................they turn up theirs more
When you inform the landlord...........they twist the story around
When you call the cops......................they pretend they'll never do it again
When you try to take revenge...........it's on like donkey kong
Find out if you can sue them for some amount in court. My tormentors didn't care about "slaps on the wrists" from landlords and the police!!
But interfering with their beer budget would have gotten their attention. Hey, I could have used the money for therapy. Now I'll just have to settle for using it as material for my novel.
Reply:i think your original idea of blasting loud music back at them is brillaint! You could open your window and start screaminig manically, treat it as a bit of fun if you can, try and do to him what he's doing to you, it sounds likes you live in a flat so you could go up to his door and smear butter on the door handle that would be funny!
Reply:My first step just out of stupidity and ignorance would be to wait until they are sleeping and find the loudest music you can, play it as loud as you can, and leave the apartment. But on the truthful side of things, I've dealt with this more than once before. Both times I involved the landlord first. I did so because one group of people were just scary as hell and i didn't want to have to deal with them and i did so the second time because i was actually coworkers with the individual. If that doesn't work, call the police. Its a public disturbance and you don't have to deal with it. Good luck.
Reply:Call the police or local council 'noise nuisance' hotline.
It's why you pay taxes...to use these services.
Reply:Next time they are making noise at 5 am. Go up stairs and knock on the door. Politely explain to them that you do not have to get up for several more hours and you would greatly appreciate if if they could keep the noise down. Most likely these are just rude people who do not think about others living in the building. Often if you bring it to their attention in a nice way - they will be more considerate.
After that - if it happens again - call the land lord.
Reply:If these people are awake at that time of night they must be sleeping late in the morning so that's the time to make some noise to get your own back,but this is likely to start a competition to see who can make the loudest noise.
I reckon the best way to go about it is to go and introduce yourself and try to make friends then you could ask them politely to keep it down,even if it's just when the fat bloke's there,you've got more chance of getting it sorted then.
It's not a good idea to have enemy's when you live in flats,you're too close together and the chances of crossing paths with them is greater.

Swollen feet during pregnancy?
yesterday we help my sil to move into her new house and I didnt really do anything since im 35 weeks pregnant, i put together a dresser, fix the food and put the food in the fridge after my hubby and my in laws moved it. Anyway this morning my feet are HUGE!!!!!! they look like elephant feet!! what can i do to make them go back to normal? this never happened to me before!
Swollen feet during pregnancy?
I'm experiencing the same thing!
My doctor says it's normal this late in pregnancy, and more so since the weather's starting to get warmer (where I live anyway). Drink plenty of water, and elevate your feet. According to my doctor though, your feet need to be elevated really high to do any good. Just using a couple pillows won't do much to help the swelling...
Reply:It may be edema, which is when you swell up during pregnancy, due to extra fluid collection in your tissue.
Try rest on your left side, put your feet up when you can (elevate them)
Stretch your legs, rotate your ankles, wiggle your toes, flex your feet when sitting
If you sit for a long period get up and have a walk around, same with laying down for a long time.
Wear comfortable shoes
Drink lots of water, try and do some light exercise
Eat well avoid sodium and junk food.
Just be careful if it continues call your doctor or midwife as it may be a sign of preeclampsia. But try and rest, you seemed to be very busy yesterday and i think you deserve it!
Reply:badly swollen feet, legs and fingers can be an indication of pre eclampsia. however swollen feet is a very common thing in pregnancy. id mention it to your midwife to be on the safe side.
in the meantine, you can put cool packs on your feet, and keep the elevated when you are relaxing and wear loose shoes and no shoes at all when about the house
Reply:What you're experiencing is edema — that's when excess fluid collects in your tissue. It's normal to have a certain amount of swelling during pregnancy because you're retaining more water. Changes in your blood chemistry also cause some fluid to shift into your tissue.
In addition, your growing uterus puts pressure on your pelvic veins and your vena cava (the large vein on the right side of the body that carries blood from your lower limbs back to the heart). The pressure slows the return of blood from your legs, causing it to pool, which forces fluid from your veins into the tissues of your feet and ankles.
Edema is most often an issue during the third trimester, particularly at the end of the day. It may be worse during the summer.
You can help relieve the increased pressure on your veins by lying on your side. Since the vena cava is on the right side of your body, left-sided rest works best.
After you have your baby, the swelling will disappear fairly rapidly as your body eliminates the excess fluid. You may find yourself urinating frequently and sweating a lot in the first days after childbirth.
A certain amount of edema is normal in the ankles and feet during pregnancy. You may also have some mild swelling in your hands.Call your midwife or doctor if you notice swelling in your face or puffiness around your eyes, more than slight swelling of your hands, or excessive or sudden swelling of your feet or ankles. This could be a sign of preeclampsia, a serious condition.Also call your caregiver if you notice that one leg is significantly more swollen than the other, especially if you have any pain or tenderness in your calf or thigh.
Here are a few tips:
• Put your feet up whenever possible. At work, it helps to keep a stool or pile of books under your desk. At home, lie on your left side when possible.
• Don't cross your legs or ankles while sitting.
• Stretch your legs frequently while sitting: Stretch your leg out, heel first, and gently flex your foot to stretch your calf muscles. Rotate your ankles and wiggle your toes.
• Take regular breaks from sitting or standing. A short walk every so often will help keep your blood circulating.
• Wear comfortable shoes that stretch to accommodate the swelling.
• Don't wear socks or stockings that have tight bands around the ankles or calves.
• Try waist-high maternity support stockings. Put them on before you get out of bed in the morning so blood doesn't have a chance to pool around your ankles.
• Drink plenty of water. Surprisingly, this helps your body retain less water.
• Exercise regularly, especially by walking, swimming, or riding an exercise bike. Or try a water aerobics class — immersion in water may temporarily help reduce swelling, particularly if the water level is up near your shoulders.
• Eat well, and avoid junk food.
Try not to let pregnancy swelling get you down. The sight of your swollen ankles will probably add to your feeling of ungainliness, but edema is a temporary condition that will pass soon after you give birth.

The ant and the elephant. What do you think?
One day, while an elephant was walking through the woods, she got a thorn stuck in her foot. She saw an ant passing and asked him to help her get the thorn out.
The ant asked, "What do I get in return?" The elephant replied, "If you get it out, I'll have sex with you."
So the ant gets busy taking the thorn out. When he finally gets it out he looks up at the elephant and says "OK it's out, are you ready?".
The elephant thinks, "Hey, what's a little ant gonna do anyways?" The ant climbs up and starts to work away. Just then a monkey overhead drops a coconut on the elephant's head.
"Ouch" screams the elephant, and the ant responds, "Yeah take it all *****."

In stuch on this math problem please help me?
The pressure that divers experiences as they descend comes from the weight of the water resting on them, Ocean water exerts a pressure of .44 lbs/in^2 for each foot that a diver descends.
An average bull elephant weights 6.5 tons. Suppose that all of this weight is exerted on a one-square-feet surface. At what depth will the water pressure on a one-square foot surface be equivalent to the pressure of the bull elephant?
Thank for your help.
In stuch on this math problem please help me?
At a depth of F feet, the pressure in PSI would be 0.44F
One ton is 2000 pounds, so the "elephant" pressure in PSI is 6.5 * 2000.
To find out how deep it would have to be until the water pressure was as forceful as the elephant pressure, set the two expressions equal to each other and solve for F.
0.44 F = 6.5 * 2000
