AI Thread Summary
Creating a customized pressure cooker for cooking rice in large quantities, specifically for 100 to 500 people, poses significant safety risks, including potential explosions if not designed correctly. The discussion highlights the importance of adhering to safety regulations, as large-scale cooking equipment must be constructed and inspected to meet public liability standards. Many participants suggest that purchasing an existing pressure cooker, which costs around $50, is a safer and more practical option. The risks associated with DIY pressure cookers are emphasized, with warnings about the dangers of improper construction. Overall, the consensus leans towards caution and the recommendation to consider safer alternatives like steamers.

I just want to make a pressure cooker for rice cooking with variable liters on demand changing.

Can you give me some ideas how to make it ?

Screw that up and youll blow a hole in your kitchen wall. Why not just buy one? Theyre around $50.

I want to create a one which can cook rice for 100 to 500 peoples. How can I design it to hold 30 to 50 litre of water. At present we have very small one to buy which can cook for 3 to 5 number of peoples.

With hundreds of people involved you are very much into the Public Liability field and Litigation. Boilers need to be of approved construction and inspected regularly. This is a crazy venture, I'm afraid.
Alternatively, cook the stuff in a steamer and keep your body intact. :smile:

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
