CULTURAL QA 11-2022-23 BEING A COMPILATIONTHERE MAY BE ERRORS
Q1 Why is cold water from the sink clear, while very hotwater from the sink is cloudy white? A1 Austin Bugden,15yrs+ Preparing ice inan engineering laboratory. Updated May 27 Turning on the tap releases pressure.Colder water canhold more gas in solution than warm water. Water underpressure can hold more gas in solution than lesser pressure. The water treatmentdissolves small amounts of disinfectant, be it chorine or ozone, and maintainsthis water under “city pressure” in the water mains. In addition, traceatmospheric gases present. Hot tap water on left, cold tap water on right. Under pressure bothhot and cold water can keep a fair amount of these trace gases dissolved. Boil some coldwater and the dissolved gas will come out as larger bubbles. Release pressurequickly and the dissolved gas in the hot water will come out as small bubblesquickly. In fact change the pressure fast enough, the same fogwill occur in cold water with gas in it. The near freezingdistilled water in the chamber below was rapidly exposed to about the pressurealtitude as 30,000’ with a vacuum pump My note- Most sinks in India come with single tappoint. It provides cold water from overhead tank. The water remains in the O/Htank decide water pressure. But for the requirement of hot water, either a separate waterheater or Pipe from nearest water heateris extended so that it provides hot waterinthe sink.

A3 Stella Smith | Diabetes Expert,Doctorat HealthNov 16 Moringa Olleiferais a plant that has been used for centuries in Asia, Africa and the Caribbeanto help diabetics. Studies have shown that it can lowerblood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. More research is needed toconfirm these findings. According to the WorldHealth Organization, around 422 million adults are living with diabetesworldwide, and this number is expected to increase by over 50% by 2045.Diabetes mellitus diagnosis is increasing in all age groups across the worldand predominantly affects higher risk populations such as South Asians andAboriginal Peoples. Diabetes isa metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels and insulinresistance. It affects people of all ages, races andincome groups. Diabetes canlead to complications such as nerve damage, eye problems and cardiovasculardisease.As people get older, they are also more likely to develop complications becausethe onset of diabetes is often preceded by other conditions such as obesity andhigh cholesterol levels. Diabetes isa chronic disease that must be managed throughout the person's life. Thetreatment involves taking regular doses of insulin plus monitoring one’s bloodglucose level with finger pricks eight or more times a day.There are many diet plans that diabetics can follow but it is important forthem to take into account their diet preferences as well as their foodpreferences so they don't feel like they are deprived from foods that they loveeating. However, dieters can still have some indulgences withoutgoing overboard which includes fresh fruit after dinner or a small bowl of icecream in moderation. Q4 What is the most Telugu thing ever?

A5 Slayer Wind,Sat This is a ₹ 100 note, with a mountain picture, sadlyit’s not mentioned what is the name of themountain peak. This is theactual picture. This mountain peak is Mt. Kanchenjunga, is the third highestmountain peak in the world, and lies partly in Nepal and partly in Sikkim,India.The actual picture is captured from Pelling, Sikkim. It is one of the smallestand the most beautiful states in India. Now what issomething that needs to be known to all Indians. Place - Arrival Hall of Mumbai International Airport.

A6 Asimendrakumar DhirendrakumarDechaudhari,Former Senior Telecom Assistant at Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited(BSNL) (1978–2014)3y Washing is done by pouring water with right and andcleaning the butt by left hand and is considered enough. Itcan be dried up with a cloth or left to dry up by itself.Hands are washed with soap and dried with towel. Indians don't takefood with left hand as it is used for washing the butt. In Indian traditiondaily clothes are to be washed every day after bath. In Indian tradition, an Indian tries deficate justafter getting up from sleep and it becomes their habit. After thatthey take a bath with soap. So, it cleans up the whole body which is dried by atowel. Indian tradition also has practice of multiple baths in thesame day, particularly after dedication. Some people changetheir clothes before going to toilet. But these rules are not followed in moderntimes and Indisms are adopting western culture. Water is the best purifying agent in Indian traditionand Indians Consider the western method of using paper for cleaning inferiorbut adopt to it in foreign countries. Q7 Why in London do pigeons interact with people when feedingthem, while in Egypt, no pigeon would ever come near a human trying to feed it? A7 Jack Flash, Updated Nov 13 Although infamousas pests in other countries, Egyptians have a lingering fondness for pigeons; they areuseful and resourceful creatures in local lore. Pigeons are allowed to lingeron farmlands, seen as a “special voice” of wisdom and family structure. But it's theEgyptians who are mad for pigeons. One of their national dishes is hamam mashi,a stuffed pigeon that's either grilled or roasted. They eat them ! There are justmore people feeding them in England.Pigeons like people they know and trust—andespecially people who feed them. Both female and male pigeons recognize human faces, andtheir expressions of affection even suggest that they can feel emotional love. Even if we are nolonger feeding and caring for them directly, they are not likely to stray toofar from human civilization. Unlike feral dogs and cats, feral pigeon are not terribly fearful ofhumans. They are generally very docile, sweet, and social creatures Q8 Is it safe to put laundry soap in a toilet tank? A8 Gopala Krishnan,Former AssistantGeneral Manager 1996-2004 at Department of Telecom (1966–2004)Just now Yes is my answer. Now in India, if one watch TV, somany advertisements come to drop smelling detergent bars in toilet tank andthey would get exhausted by about 150 flushes. So there is noharm in putting laundry soap which also comes with fragrance. Q9 Do bends reduce water pressure? A9 David Thomas,Professional Engineer,Civil, AlaskaNov 11 Without flow,pressure is constant (at a given height) throughout a plumbing system. But with flow,there are frictional losses that reduce pressure the further down the pipe runthe water goes. Square elbowslike those used in copper piping: cause as muchpressure drop as 60 pipe diameters of straight pipe. So a 1″ 90 ell is like 60x 1″ = 5 feet of straight 1″ pipe. for the 3/4″ ells shown above, 60 x 3/4″ =45 inches = 4 feet of straight 3/4″ pipe. 45 ells are halfthat (so it’s better to use two 45s for an offset than two 90s. Side-out tees andabrupt reducers can be even higher, while sweeps as found in DWV systems aremuch less (15 to 20 pipe diameters). But standardpractice (in the US) covers all of that. Run 3/4″ to each bathroom and kitchenand then go to 1/2″ for each fixture and you’ll be fine. Or run 1/2″ “homeruns”of PEX from a central manifold to each fixture (which delivers hot water toeach fixture more quickly. The most commoninstances of bends causing problems in residential work are clothes dryervents. You’re allowed, say, 20 feet of straight 3″ duct or 40 feet of 4″ smoothductwork from the dryer to the exterior vent (RTFB!). But each 4-inch elbow(it’s not quite square, but nor it is a sweep with all those joints, so I use60 pipe diameters) is equivalent to 4″ x 60 = 240″ = 12 feet. THerefore three90s can use up all your allowed frictional losses, the dryer won’t move muchair, take a long time to dry, be less efficient and may shut down giving you anerror code. Also, people use excessive lengths of flex duct work which is NOTsmooth on the inside so each foot has far more pressure drop than smooth-wallduct. My note- The answer is given to the question asked.However for lifting water from bore wells or sumps the bends are to be limited,and in bends elbows of curving nature are provided. Q10 Do all avocados have the same nutritional value? A10 Laura Bailey,Get Fit. Get Healthy. GetResults!Fri All avocados are not created equal when it comes tonutrition. While all avocados offer health benefits, some have more of certainnutrients than others. For example, some avocados are higher in healthy fats whileothers are higher in vitamins and minerals. So, if you'relooking for a specific nutrient in an avocado, it's important to choose onethat is high in that nutrient. However, all avocados are a healthy choice andwill offer some nutritional benefits. All the above QA are from Quora website on 23-10-2022 Quora answers need not be 100% correct answers .
