just a thought re. max weight for van.
does anyone know how much water 100m of 6mm hose would hold

[groundhog]

Surely no one is sad enough to try and work this out!!!!! 

[Niall McAllister]

I wouldn't take that bet

[Oakley Windows]

πr2 x 100/1000......................3.14(3 x 3) = 28.126 x 100/1000 = 2.8 litres (2.8Kg)

bet you feel silly now. 

[groundhog]

πr2 x 100/1000......................3.14(3 x 3) = 28.126 x 100/1000 = 2.8 litres (2.8Kg)

Sad and probably totally incorrect!!!!!! 

[groundhog]

bet you feel silly now. 

No!! I wasn't the one asking a silly question!!!!!

Sad maybe, but correct !

No!! I wasn't the one asking a silly question!!!!! 

it's only a  silly question, until your pulled over and discover your being done for being 2.8kg over your max load

[Alex Gardiner]

πr2 x 100/1000......................3.14(3 x 3) = 28.126 x 100/1000 = 2.8 litres (2.8Kg)

Spot on.

[Niall McAllister]

don't you love high school maths
I remember saying what use will Pi r squared ever be to me?
who new?
 

[mlscontractcleaner]

Why would you be over your legal weight???

Surely the water in your hose came from your tank, and if your tank full of water isn't too heavy you're legal.

Makes sence to me anyway 

[Niall McAllister]

after the first use the water would sit in in the hose. then when you refill the tank, you have the hose plus tank.
Look, I've had two months off, my mind wanders.

You better not carry too much loose change in your pocket then, or what about that flask of tea on the front seat!!! I shouldn't worry too much about the water in the hose if I was you me old mate! 

[Ian Lancaster]

And I'll tell you something else

In the current weather conditions with all the mud and stuff on the roads, you'd better keep your van clean - you don't want to be done for carrying a few kilos of mud around


 

[ftp]

If i eat any more i'll be carrying the kilos myself.

[Clive McDonald]

so mini is 8m internal diameter (4m radius) yes?

3.14*4*4*100=5.024kg

Plus the hose and reel.

[Oakley Windows]

Yup, thats the one!

[dai]

Yup, thats the one!

Mat, have you worked out the trigonometrical ratios with regards to being able to cover more glass per stoke, by standing further back and extending the hypotenuse.

[Oakley Windows]

I have Dai, yes! However, I can confirm that as most of us carry out our work outdoors the barometric pressure exerted on the outside of a hose filled with water under pressure renders the external spray non-distinguishable as atmospheric weather patterns are all too variable and unreliable.

Sorry....
