...colonnade is 72 feet above ground. With temporary seats in the open end, the open end, the Stadium's capacity can be raised well above 40,000; the report of a 1929 meeting with Dartmouth puts the crowd at 60,000. In the entire structure there are 250,000 cubic feet of concrete--a mixture of Portland cement, sand and broken stone...
...that temperature, the hydrogen is hotter than the center of an exploding nuclear bomb. But the gas is spread so thin between the galaxies (fewer than ten atoms per cubic yard of space) that there is no appreciable heating effect on objects it surrounds. The heat merely makes it expand like any hot, unconfined gas; and since it fills the whole universe, the universe as a whole expands...
...else wanted. This week he was preparing to pile up another fortune, based this time on his nose for natural gas. His Associated Oil & Gas Co. announced that it has proved up perhaps the largest untapped gas field in gas-rich South Texas. Estimated reserves: a trillion cubic feet. But that was only Harry Mosser's opening card; he also announced a contract to sell 800 billion cu. ft. of gas to Coastal States Gas Producing Co. at 16? per thousand cu. ft. (with escalator clause), biggest such deal in years. Coastal will build a ten-inch pipeline from...
...natural gas-and oil is in such surplus-that the market has burgeoned, put a premium on gas discoveries. Mosser now has more than 18 oil and gas rigs drilling, brought in more than a dozen wells. He has two other promising fields that may well yield another trillion cubic feet of gas. Says Mosser: "We'll take the oil, but it's the gas we're really after...
...present, however, give the claimants the advantages of the larger size, the absence of a phone, and the choice of the booth's position. The total volume of the booth is then 63 cubic feet. Assuming the average weight of the 33 students to be 140 pounds (a very conservative estimate), we see that the students weigh 4620 pounds, or 73.3 pounds per cubic foot of booth. Since a cubic foot of water weighs 62.4 pounds, we arrive at the figure 1.16 as the specific gravity of the students (not to be confused with the density of the students...
