CULTURAL QA 06-2023-25A Q1 How do I stop a fan noise?
A1 Gopala Krishnan, Former AssistantGeneral Manager 1996-2004 at Department of Telecom (1966–2004)Just now Most of the fansare working with least noise if they are 1) New 2) Rheostat (Regulator) atmedium position. One ofthe reasons if the fan is new, for making the noise can be because the cupabove motor unit touching the top ofmotor unit covering . Re-fixing it by a technician can solve theproblem. Another reason can be by keeping the rheostat in thesame position and wear and tear of bearings. By justaltering the position for a few minutes will solve the issue. If the fan is old, there can be a problem of lubricationand change of ball bearings may solve the problem. Q2 Why do planes circle before landing andafter take -off? A2 Info Sage, Professional Maven Sat Planes may circlebefore landing or after take off for various reasons. Here are someexplanations for these procedures: 1. Air Traffic Control Instructions: Air Traffic Control(ATC) may direct aircraft to enter a holding pattern before landing or after take-off.This is done to manage the flow of air traffic and ensure safe spacing between aircraft. ATCmay need to sequence arriving aircraft or provide spacing for departingaircraft. Holding patterns help maintain separation and allow ATC toefficiently manage traffic. 2. Congestion at the Destination Airport: If the destinationairport is experiencing congestion or heavy air traffic, ATC may instruct aircraft to enter aholding pattern. This allows the airport to clear some of thecongestion and create a more orderly arrival sequence. Holding patterns giveATC the flexibility to control the flow of aircraft and minimize delays. 3. Runway Clearance: Sometimes, aircraftneed to wait for the runway to become available for landing. This can happen if there is anaircraft still on the runway, debris needs to be cleared, or there are otheroperational considerations. In such cases, aircraft may enter aholding pattern until the runway is clear and ready for their arrival ordeparture. 4. Weather Conditions: Adverse weather,such as low visibility or strong crosswinds, can affect aircraft operations.ATC may put aircraft into a holding pattern until conditions improve or untilthere is a safe window for landing. This ensures the safety of the aircraft andpassengers. 5. Operational Requirements: Airlines may alsochoose to enter a holding pattern for operational reasons. This could be due to operationalconstraints, crew scheduling, or to meet slot times at the destination airport.Airlines carefully plan their schedules and may build in some buffer timethrough holding patterns to manage any deviations or unforeseen circumstances. NOTE: The concept of a "go-around." A go-around is when anaircraft aborts the landing and initiates a climb to re-enter the approach foranother landing attempt. Go-aroundscan occur due to various reasons, such as an unstable approach, traffic on therunway, or ATC instructions. They ensure the safety of the aircraftand allow for a more controlled landing. My note- I have experienced circling before landing due to congestionin one of my flights to Bangalore from Chennai, at Bangalore air- port. I have also experienced circling due to weather condition also at Trivandrumairport due to heavy storm obstructing landing. Finally the plane was forcelanded and we had a narrow escape. It was in one of my Dubai- Trivandrum flightin 1964. Q3 Is it possible for there to be a forestimpossible to enter? A3 Info Orb Answered by RI Shohag,7h Yes, in name and infact: it is the Impenetrable Forest of Bwindi. It is located in Uganda and owesits name to the fact that it is very difficult to access, even for thosetraveling on foot, both dueto the rugged nature of the terrain and the tangle of vegetation. It is fortunatethat it is like this: it is one of the most precious and richest ecosystems onthe planet, since 1994protected as a World Heritage Site by Unesco. It is home to more than 160 species of plants, as well as ahundred species of ferns, thousands of animal species, including 120 of mammalsand the rare mountain gorilla, 346 of birds, 200 of butterflies, many of whichare endangered, and 27 of frogs, chameleons and geckos. My note- I have watched a Tamil programme about forest near Vilpatti ( Kodaikkanal). It was toldinside the forest sunlight will not enter because of the growth of trees.Tourists are permitted on special permission with forest guards on the outer ofthe forest with compass and head light. Q3 What are the differences betweenpersonal computers and workstation computers? A3 NamanArora, Price hush Jun 14 Personal computers and workstation computers are distinctin terms of their design, performance, and intended usage. Personal computers are designed for individual use andcater to a wide range of applications such as web browsing, word processing.They are typically affordable. PCs are equipped with abalanced combination of hardware components that provide adequate performancefor everyday tasks. On the otherhand, workstation computers are engineered to deliver superior performance andreliability for demanding professional applications. Workstationsare optimized for tasks that require extensive computational power, such as 3Dmodeling, animation, video editing, scientific simulations, and engineeringdesign. They boasthigh-end processors, abundant RAM, powerful graphics cards, and fast storagesystems. Additionally, workstations often have robust coolingmechanisms and are built with high-quality components to ensure stability andlongevity under heavy workloads. Q4 When I manually put water in my Hisenseautomatic washing machine, the water is rushing out back from the outlet. Whatmay be the cause? A4 Natalie Cummings,Former RN Retired2y I’m not sure Iunderstand your question . I’m picturing you pouring water into yourmachine while it is off . If this is the case the machine’s last function wasto drain when it last operated. The drain is probably still open becausethis is where the machine stopped in it’s cycle. If you’re doing this to try to soak clothing prior towashing , then soak your clothing in a basin or washtub, utility sink , bucket or by some other manner . Try running yourmachine on a normal cycle to see if it’s working properly . You won’t usuallysee a high amount of sudsy water in your newer HE washers like you see in frontloaders in a laundramat . I’m still trying to figure out why you may be pouringwater in your machine manually , the two things I’ve thoughtof is attempting to soak your clothing or that you don’t think the machine isoperating properly because you don’t see a water level through the glass . 2ND ANSWER- Curt Mueller,Appliance repair andcleaning Specialist 2y Your putting in too much water.Some washers will allow extra water to be filled. Others will allow only somuch before an overfil may occur. Q5 What happens if I put water manually inan automatic washing machine? A5 Anonymous, Updated 4y Nothing… at least with most top loading washers you cando this, in fact I do it every time I do my wash!Themachine doesn’t know where its water is coming from, it is only programmed tostop filling when the water has reached its top off sensor,and even after it has sensed being full, you can add more water to that! Butyou shouldn’t fill any higher than 2 inches below the top of the drum or elsewater will spill over onto the floor. Just lift the lidto add the water. That’s what I do.
