Question:

Is it safe to travel with fire extinguishers in the back of a rental truck?

I'm moving and I have two small kitchen ABC fire extinguishers that I would like take with me. Will the heat in the back of the rental truck effect these extinguishers? Could they explode? Traveling 1400 miles, 2 or 3 days, through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma (hot). Thanks?

Answer:

Pressure head is a simple way of relating the pressure to an equivalent column of water. P ρgh where h head ρ density of water g grav. acc Honestly I detest working in imperial units, because lb is really not a unit of force. Let me convert to SI then I'll convert back. ρ 1000 kg/m^3 g 9.81 m/s^2 h 59.4 m P 583067 Pa 84.57 psi There is an alternative method. Consider a column of water 195 ft high, and 1 sq ft in area. Volume of water 195 cu ft ρ 62.3 lb/cu.ft So weight of water 12148.5 lb pressure weight / area 12148.5 lb/sq.ft 12148.5/(12^2) lb/sq in 84.36 psi (round off errors) Alternatively, you can just go to the site below and type in the inches of water, and it will convert it for you in various other units, including psi.

not in pro at least, don't know about other editions. I assume they also have accounts under the hood since I was able to get them to sport a login prompt also, so I assume they MAY have some sort of ACLs and security,just not sure about the guest account. not something I have actually tried. in other editions of windows, the filesystem doesn't appear to have the permissions and security that Pro has. so the answer is either it depends or no.
