SAMPLE PROBLEM 2A
1. A reservoir of glycerin has a mass of 200 kg and a volume of 0.952 cu.m. Find it’s mass density.
2. What is pressure is required to reduce the volume of water by 0.6 percent? Bulk modulus of
elasticity of water, E= 2.2 GPa.
3. If the viscosity of water at 70 C is 0.00402 poise and its specific gravity is 0.978, determine its
kinematic viscosity in stokes.
4. Distilled water stands in a glass tube of 9 mm diameter at a height of 24 mm. What is the true
static height? Use = 0.0742 N/m.
5. A rectangular tank is filled with oil, specific gravity of 0.9 to a depth of 4 m. What would be the
pressure 1.2 m from the oil surface?
6. A pressure gage 2.3 m from the bottom of the tank reads 10 KPa. Determine the depth of the
tank?
7. A spherical balloon 6 m in diameter is filled with gas weighing 5.5 N/m3. Air weighs 12 N/m3,
what is the maximum load, including is own weight that the ballon can lift?
8. An iceberg having a specific gravity of 0.92 floats in salt water having a specific gravity of 1.03.
If the volume of ice above the surface is 500 m3, what is the total volume of the iceberg?
9. Two reservoirs containing water is at the same elevation with each other. A U-tube containing
oil having a specific gravity of 0.8 is connected to the reservoirs. If the difference between the
legs of the tube is 350 mm, determine the pressure difference between the reservoirs.
10. Determine the difference of elevation between the legs of a U-tube manometer containing
mercury connected to a tank containing water having a pressure of 138 KPa, if the elevation of
one leg is 1.5 m below the center of the tank.
