UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS FINAL ENGINEERING EXAM
1. Calculate the smallest limb diameter on a persimmon

of 20 gallons of shine per hour, how many car
radiators are necessary 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 inches.
How many Budweiser Tall Boys will it take to cut the trees?
