Weight and Volume of Added Water

The document provides data on an empty container and the weight and volume of water added to fill the container. It gives the weight and mass of the empty container, then calculates the weight of the added water by subtracting the container weight from the total weight. It uses the water density from a table to calculate the volume of water added. The volume of water added is calculated to be 1.24 ft3.

Problem 1.

36

[Difficulty: 1]

Given: Find: Solution:

Data on a container and added water. Weight and volume of water added. Use Appendix A.

For the empty container

Wc = 3.5 lbf M total = 2.5 slug

For the filled container

The weight of water is then

Ww = M total g Wc ft 1 lbf s Ww = 2.5 slug 32.2 3.5 lbf 2 1 slug ft s


2

Ww = 77.0 lbf

The temperature is

90F = 32.2C

and from Table A.7

= 1.93

slug ft
3

Hence

Vw =

Mw

or

Ww Vw = g

1 s 1 ft 1 slug ft Vw = 77.0 lbf 2 32.2 ft 1.93 slug 1 lbf s

Vw = 1.24ft
