Energy and environmental engineering silly question

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around clarifying the differences between two assignment questions related to emissions from a coal mine. The first question addresses methods to contain gases within the mine, while the second focuses on managing gases that have escaped. There is confusion regarding whether particulate emissions, such as dust from loading trains, fall under mining operations. Additionally, the participant questions if "processing" is considered part of "mining operations." Understanding these distinctions is crucial for completing the assignment effectively.

Hello everyone,

I am sorry if this question looks silly but my tutor has not replied yet and I need to work it out as soon as I can. Could someone tell me if they see any difference question 1 and question 2? Because I genuinely don't and it is driving me crazy. The assignment is about a coal mine and how to prevent emissions

1. Focuses on keeping the gasses still inside the mine.
2. Focuses on doing something with gasses out of the mine.
 
It sounds to me like they are differentiating between gaseous and particulate emissions.

Loading trains can raise dust. This might not be considered part of "mining operations".

Is "processing" included in "mining operations"?
 

Thread '2:1 Pulley Question'

I have Mass A being pulled vertically. I have Mass B on an incline that is pulling Mass A. There is a 2:1 pulley between them. The math I'm using is: FA = MA / 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If MB is greater then FA, it pulls FA up as MB moves down the incline. BUT... If I reverse the 2:1 pulley. Then the math changes to... FA = MA * 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If FA is greater then MB, it pulls MB up the incline as FA moves down. It's confusing...
