1. A water column in a glass tube is used to measure the pressure in a pipe. The tube is 1/4 in. (6.35 mm) in diameter.
𝑁
How much of the water column is due to surface-tension effects? (Water at 20 oC, 𝜎 = 0.073 ; 𝛾 = 9790 𝑁/𝑚3 )
𝑚

2. What is the gage pressure at the center of the pipe if the fluid in the pipe is water at 10 °C and mercury is the
𝑁 𝑁
manometer fluid (∆ℎ = 60 𝑐𝑚; 𝑙 = 180 𝑐𝑚). 𝛾𝐻2 𝑂 (10 ℃) = 9810 ; 𝛾𝑚 = 133000 .

3. Determine the force acting on one side of a concrete form 2.44 m high and 1.22 m wide that is used for pouring a
basement wall. The specific weight of concrete is 23.6 kN/m3.

4. A cubic meter of wood is floating with 80 % of its volume submerged in water. Find the mass of the wood.
