Charles asks…
Find the dimensions of the bin with the greatest possible volume, to the nearest tenth of a metre?
Teegan is building a storage bin with a lid in the shape of a squared-based prism to hold her gardening tools. she has 12metres-square of plywood to make the bin
GardenersCardiff answers:
The greatest volume-to-surface area ratio you can get from a square prism is a perfect cube. A cube has six sides, so you can find the area of each side by 12m² / 6 = 2m². Take the square root of that to find the length of each edge, √2m² ≈ 1.414m
Sharon asks…
What birthday gift should I get my mom?
My mom’s birthday is on March 29th and I have no idea what gifts should I get her. She is a garden lover but I already got her a set of garden tools on her last birthday. Any gifts ideas?
GardenersCardiff answers:
A little basket full of different seeds for her to plant and grow. Maybe even a flower ready to be transfered into the ground. Or think of something else she likes when she can’t garden. Cooking? Cleaning? Baking? Art? Possiblities are endless when it’s the woman you’ve known since day one (:
Linda asks…
RESISTANT MATERIALS: what joint would you use for a interchangeable garden hand tool?
For my resistant materials second paper on Monday the theme is “Garden Hand Tools“.
We need to know about Single and interchangeable tools and i was wondering what you would use on the tool to make it interchangeable so that the head of the tool could be changed into about 3 tools e.g. a trowel, small fork, small rake.
So, what type of joining (fabricating) would you use?
Someone suggested using a threaded or a pinned connection. How would i do that?
Any information you have on garden hand tools would be useful as well please.
Thanks 🙂
GardenersCardiff answers:
My teacher gave me a sheet all about garden hand tools so our class could prepare for the exam on monday and it said on it that most interchangeable hand tools can be released and changed with just a simple push of a button. This means that many different heads and handles can be used according to what you need to do.
He also gave us a list of materials usually used for garden hand tools, these were stainless steel, high carbon steel, ash (hardwood), polypropylene, pressed steel and forged manganese steel.
A useful website with information on their own garden hand tools is www.bulldoghandtools.co.uk
this website also has a video to show how the tools are made
I hope this helps and good luck in the exam tomorrow!
