Quiz 1
1. A LITER OF WATER WEIGHS ABOUT 9.75 N. COMPUTE THE MASS IN
KILOGRAMS.
GIVEN: W = 9.75 N REQ’D: Mass (m)
g = 9.81 m/s2
SOLUTION:
Conversion:

2. AT 32°C AND 205 kPa GAGE, THE SPECIFIC WEIGHT OF A CERTAIN GAS
WAS 13.7 N/m3. DETERMINE THE GAS CONSTANT OF THIS GAS.
GIVEN: T = 32°C g = 9.81 m/s2 REQ’D: Gas Constant (R)
pg = 205 kPa
ɤ = 13.7 N/m3
 SOLUTION:
Conversion:
T = 32°C = 32 + 273 = 305°K
pg = 205 kPa = 205000 Pa
Formula: pabs = pg + pa ; pa = 101325 Pa

3. AIR IS KEPT AT A PRESSURE OF 200 kPa ABSOLUTE AND A

TEMPERATURE OF 30°C IN A 500 LITER CONTAINER. WHAT IS THE
MASS OF AIR?
GIVEN: p = 200 kPa absolute REQ’D: Mass of Air (m)
T = 30°C
V = 500 L
 SOLUTION:
Conversion:
p = 200 kPa = 200000 Pa
T = 30°C = 30 + 273 = 303°K

4. IF THE VISCOSITY OF WATER AT 70°C IS 0.00402 POISE AND ITS

SPECIFIC GRAVITY IS 0.978, DETERMINE THE ABSOLUTE VISCOSITY IN
Pa – SEC AND KINEMATIC VISCOSITY IN m2/SEC AND IN STOKES.
GIVEN: 𝜇 = 0.00402 poise REQ’D: a) Absolute Viscosity (𝜇)
T = 70°C b) Kinematic Viscosity (v)
s = 0.978
SOLUTION:
