Question

why should a stationary air compressor be bolted to the floor?

a. to prevent tipping and reduce vibration

b. to increase air pressure

c. to improve airflow to the tank

d. to make it easier to move

Explanation:

When an air - compressor operates, it can generate vibrations. Bolting it to the floor helps to keep it stable, preventing tipping over due to these vibrations and also reducing the overall vibration level. It has no direct relation to increasing air pressure, improving airflow to the tank, and bolting it makes it less easy to move.

Answer:

A. To prevent tipping and reduce vibration
