With apologies to Alabama
The Alabama State Engineering Exam
1. Calculate the smallest limb diameter on a persimmon tree that will
support a 10 pound possum.
2. Which of the following cars will rust out the quickest when placed on
blocks in your front yard?
A. '66 Ford Fairlane B. '69 Chevrolet Chevelle C. '64 Pontiac GTO.
3. If your uncle builds a still that operates at a capacity of 20 gallons of
'shine per hour, how many radiators are required to condense the product?
4. A pulpwood cutter has a chain saw that operates at 2700 rpm. The density
of the pine trees in a plot to be harvested is 470 trees per acre. The plot
is 2.3 acres in size. The average tree diameter is 14". How many Budweiser
tallboys will it take to cut the trees?
5. If every old refrigerator in the state vented a charge of R-12
simultaneously, what would be the decrease in the ozone layer?
6. A front porch is constructed of 2x8 pine at 24 inches on center with a
field rock foundation. The span is 8 feet and the porch length is 16 feet.
The porch floor is 1" thick rough sawn pine. When the porch collapses, how
many hound dogs will be killed?
7. A man owns a house and 3.7 acres of land in a hollow with an average
slope of 15%. The man has 5 children. Can each of the children place a
mobile home on the man's land?
8. A 2-ton pulpwood truck is overloaded and proceeding down a steep grade on
a secondary road at 45 mph. The brakes fail. Given the average traffic
loading of secondary roads, how many people will swerve to avoid the truck
before it crashes at the bottom of the mountain?
For extra credit, how many of the vehicles that swerved will have mufflers
and uncracked windshields?
9. A coalmine operates an NFPA class 1, division 2 Hazardous Area. The mine
employs 120 miners per shift. A gas warning is issued at the beginning of
3rd shift. How many cartons of unfiltered Camels will be smoked during the
shift?
10. At a reduction in gene pool variability rate of 7.5% per generation, how
long will it take a town that has been bypassed by the interstate to breed a
country-western singer?
