2. The only location in the USA where the boundaries of four states join in one place is: 37 degrees N, 109 degrees W. ( The intersection of Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico.)
3. Some chemical abbreviations:

4. 1 Horsepower can be converted to as follows:
-Power required to lift 550 foot-pounds by 1 foot in 1 second.
