As has already been pointed out, it's in the company's interest not to publish salaries/raises, and it's generally in the employees interest (to some extent) to know what their peers are earning.
So... what tends to happen (in my limited experience) is that the companies tell people not to...
Your company's policy with regard to things like this - unless you work at a very small company where the individual can exert a large influence - is what it is, and you're probably not going to change it.
Normally, I work around 40 hours a week. I have always been of the opinion that if I'm...
rb1957 - yes, you're right. for final clarification the ball has a mass of 0.3kg.
prex - yeah, i'd considered doing a drop test. I think we're sort of short on these things at the moment though so I'll wait until we get some spares in before I go breaking any more.
Jistre - yes, the idea is...
rb1957 - the mass is 0.3 kg (i.e. the product of it's density and volume). It's weight would be that value multiplied by gravitational acceleration, no?
to explain a bit more history, this ball is used in a tool which is run down into the well. fluid is initially circulated through the tool...
The terminal velocity did seem a bit high to me, but hey... it came from NASA.
http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/termv.html
on the calculator there i used mass = 0.332 kg, CSA = 0.0026, altitude = 114m, drag coeff. = 0.5 (just looked this up as a typical [high] value for a sphere)
I...
Thanks for the input Don.
Yes, I suppose to go down the road of complex fluid calcs may be overthinking things a bit.
The ball is solid. It is 2-1/4" dia. made of phenolic plastic with a metalic filler. specific gravity of 3.4, so it weighs around 0.3 kg. I don't know the exact co-ef. of...
Does anyone know how I can calculate the impact force/energy of a sphere falling onto a fluid?
I know the geometry and mass of the ball, the height it has fallen (so can calculate a velocity at impact), and i know the properties of the fluid its being dropped onto.
the real life situation is a...
Unfortunately the photocopier is probably a terrible idea in this instance - unless you want to go to jail for a long time. I would imagine, as drillernic says, that vetco would be the best source for this info.
I don't have any experience of the American engineering/work culture (except by word of mouth from American colleagues) but 50 hr/wk seems excessive for an entry level position.
Of course there will be times when workload dictates I have to work 50+ hours a week, but it shouldn't be the norm...
they gave me a drawing of a tool, and some operating conditions, and asked about the forces on certain parts of it, as well as general questions about it's design - any potential problems, etc. Then also a drawing of a section of a wellhead , and asked to design a tool from scratch to check the...
Hey, got the job offer this morning - and still no mention of strawberries or bananas more's the pity!! For the record I'd opt to be a banana, but that's another story...
Hi guys,
I have a second interview for a job in a couple of weeks (having survived an assessment centre). They indicated that they would be asking some technical questions and I just wondered if anyone could shed any light on the sort of things you would ask if you were hiring a graduate...
thanks for all the info and advice guys. i now have a few more details on this project i'm undertaking. it will be based on this (http://www.cussons.co.uk/en/products/p9005.html) dinky little educational GT set up we have in the lab. It consists of an old holset turbocharger unit to act as...
Does anyone know of any good sources of information on this topic? I am pretty much starting from zero here, and want to get a general idea of what it's all about before I start on the bulk of this undergraduate project I'm about to embark on. Any information about texts, online information...
firstly, im trying to generate 'random' numbers between zero and 49 (guess what for). currently im using:
time_t t;
srand(unsigned (time(&t)));
int num = (rand() % 49);
but as that stands, the numbers im getting dont seem very random. in fact they seem like theyre just being plucked from a...
hi, i have an assignment to put 6 pseudo random numbers into an array to
simulate drawing 6 lottery numbers between 1-49. the code i have to do this
so far is listed below. i dont think its far off. im getting a recurring
error regarding the syntax of my main() function argument calling in...
i need to explode a series of polylines into their constituent parts to re-position certain aspects of my drawing, and i know that when you do this, you lose the width, and the plines become lines. is there any way of reassigning a width to these lines to make them polylines again without...
