1.- The specific gravity of ethyl alcohol is 0,79.

Calculate its specific weight (in

both pounds per cubic foot and kilonewtons per cubic meter) and mass density
(in both slugs per cubic foot and kilograms per cubic meter).
Data: Formula:

s . g .=0,79 γ =s . g . s . g .water

s . g . water=9800 p=s . g . p water

s . g . water=62,4 lb/ ft 3

pwater =1,94 lbf /ft 3

Development:

y= ( 0,19 ) (62,4 lb/ft 3 )

y=49,3 lb /ft 3

y=(0,79)(9,8 kN )

y=7,74 kN /m 3

p=790 kg/m3

p= ( 0,79 ) (1,94 lbf / ft 3)

p=1,53 lbf /ft 3
