Q

A barangay road 6.00 meters wide and 1.5 kilometers long after base preparation requires
concreting. Find the number of bags of cement required using class “A” concrete if the slab is
designed 6 inches thick.

a. 12,150
b. 8,230
c. 10,680
d. 13,550
e. 15,660

A

a. 12,150

Vroad = (L)(W)(t)

where: L = 1.5km = 1,500m

W = 6m
t = 6in = 0.15m
Vroad = = (1,500m) (6m) (0.15m) = 1,350 cu.m.
Using Class A mixture,
Number of bags of cement = (9.0 bags/cu.m.) (1,350 cu.m.)
n = 12,150

Q

A restaurant countertop bar has three appliances connected to a 220-V circuit with a 10-A
circuit breaker. These appliances are: 1000-W mini hot-cold water dispenser, 1350-W
microwave oven, and 900-W toaster. Which of these appliances can be operated
simultaneously without tripping the circuit breaker?

b. Oven and toaster
c. Water dispenser and toaster
d. All three appliances
e. None of the appliances

A

c. Water dispenser and toaster

Compute for the total amperage.
From P = IV, I = P/V
Dispenser + Oven = 1000 + 1350 = 2,350W I = 2,350W/220V = 10.68A
Dispenser + Toaster = 1000 + 900 = 1,900W I = 1,900W/220V = 8.64A <10A
Oven + Toaster = 1350 + 900 = 2,250W I = 2,250W/220V = 10.23A
All three = 1000 + 1350 + 900 = 3,250W I = 3,250W/220V = 14.77A

Q

An electric motor has a nameplate rating of 1.25 horsepower, 220 volts, and 10.0 amperes. Calculate the motor efficiency assuming a motor power factor of 0.5.

a. 0.85
b. 0.80
c. 0.75
d. 0.70
e. 0.90

A

a. 0.85

POWER FACTOR= MOTOR POWER/POWER INPUT

0.5=MOTOR POWER/(220 V X 10 A)
Motor Power= 1100 W

Motor Efficiency= rating/motor power
= (1.25 hp)(746 w/1 hp)/1100W
motor effficiency= 0.85

Q

A concrete column is 7.00 meters high with a cross-sectional dimension of 20x24 inches.
Determine the quantity of sand if there are 8 columns in the row using class “A” concrete.

a. 8.4 cu.m.
b. 7.2 cu.m.
c. 12.5 cu.m.
d. 18.4 cu.m.
e. 16.8 cu.m.

A

a. 8.4 cu.m.

Vcolumn = (h)(w1)(w2) h = 7.00m
w1 = 20in = 0.50m
w1 = 24in = 0.60m

Vcolumn = (7.00m)(0.50m)(0.60m)
Vcolumn = 2.10m3
For the eight columns: Vcolumn = (8)(2.10m3
) = 16.8m3

Quantity of sand = (0.50m3
/m3
)(16.8m3
)

Quantity of sand = 8.4m3
