I just purchased a new refrigerator and am trying to connect the ice maker line. I have copper pipe with a dedicated shut off valve for the fridge (not a saddle valve) and I can not get the compression fittings to make a good seal. Is there a different type of fitting that is a little more user friendly that I can use instead of the compression fittings?Thanks in advance!
How can we possibly know what's required where you are, when we don't know where that is? Every country in the world has its own laws. In Federal countries the law is different in every State and Province. Things like fire codes are also different in individual cities or counties. The law also applies differently to commercial properties from residential ones, and even to different types of commercial property. In some places the law is even different for owner-occupied homes as opposed to rented homes. Richard
centripetal acceleration v^2/r (sqrt(9.81*radius)) velocity
The universal joints on the axles are about to go. It could be expensive.
The critical point is where the force up due to inertia equals the force down due to gravity. The other answers are incorrect under the assumption that the curve is smooth. A spring and shock combo are only effective on impulse. This isn't really a bump at all, but a hill. A smooth curve will result in them extending slowly until the tires lose contact with the ground. Fma is the formula for the force in terms of the product of the mass times the acceleration. a v^2/r Is the formula for the acceleration felt through a curve at the square of the velocity divided by the radius. The force due to gravity is simply: F 938 * 9.8 The force due to inertia is simply: F 938*v^2/50.4 Set the two forces equal and the mass cancels out 9.8 v^2/50.4 v^2 493.92 v sqrt(493.92) v 22 m/s or 50.
