Paper weight and hence thickness are indicated by the unit gsm (grams
per square meter). With this knowledge, determine the mass (in kg) of
a ream of 500 pieces of 90 gsm A4 paper. (You can do any length
measurement you need). Leave your answers to 2 decimal places.

An average family of four uses roughly 1200 L (about 300 gallons) of

water per day (1L=1000 cm3). How much depth (cm) would a lake lose
per year if it uniformly covered an area of 89 km2 and supplied a local
town with a population of 45 thousand people? Consider only
population uses, and neglect evaporation and so on. Please leave your
answer to 1 decimal place.

The equation Status: airflow through a computer chassis to
for required
maintain a safe operating temperature is given by
where Q is the heat transferred per unit time (kW), is the specific
heat capacity of air, is the density of air and is the temperature
change. Which of the following is a possible unit for ?
kg/s
kg/m3
J/m3
m3/s
J/s
Some hard drives are rated 7200 rpm (rev per minute). which means
that it can spin up to 7200 rounds in one minute. If a read-and-write
head is 3.1 cm from the rotation axis, how fast (in m/s) is the disk
moving just beneath the read-and-write head? leave your answer to 1
decimal place.
An underwater data center is submerged at a depth of 0.14 km.

Determine the pressure (in atm) that it is able to withstand. (ρsea = 1
020 kg/m3 and 1.01 × 105 N/m2 = 1 ATM.) Leave your answer to 3
s.f.

A scuba diver and her gear displace a volume of 63.3 L and have a total
mass of 67.1 kg. What is the buoyant force (in N) acting on the diver?
(Density of sea water is 1025 kg/m3) Leave your answer to 3 s.f.
63600

A standard cylinder of oxygen used in a hospital has a pressure of 1.7 x

107 Pa and volume of 27 L at T = 25oC. How long (in min) will the
cylinder last, if the flow rate measured at atmospheric pressure is
constant at 2.5 L/min at T = 25oC? Leave your answer to 3 s.f.
Atmospheric pressure is 1.01 x 105 Pa.

A house has a volume 692 m3. What is the total mass of air inside the
house at 22.6oC. Assume that pressure is 1 atm. The molar mass of
air is 29.2 g. What is the total mass (in kg) of air inside the house?
Leave your answer to 3 s.f.
The figure on the right shows an aerostat filled with helium and can lift
antennas and receivers to an altitude of 250 meters and deliver mobile
broadband to rural communities. The aerostat is tethered to the ground
by a system of cables. One such system can provide ground coverage
for up to 10,000 km2, an area that would normally require about 15 cell
phone towers – reducing the deployment costs by 60%. It is a viable
candidate to deliver the 5G networks. The density of helium at 1.0 atm
and 15 oC is 0.168 kg/m3 and the density for air is 1.225 kg/m3. For a
particular system, the mass of the balloon (skin without helium), cables
and the equipment is 605 kg. The volume of the balloon is 800 m3
when in operation. Determine the tension in the cables required to hold
the aerostat at a constant height.
