FILENAME: SURNAME_ACTIVITY 2

PROBLEM 1. A golden-colored cube is handed to you. The person wants you to buy it for $100, saying
that is a gold nugget. You pull out your old geology text and look up gold in the mineral table, and read
that its density is 19.3 g/cm3. You measure the cube and find that it is 3cm on each side, and weighs 40 g.
What is its density? Is it gold? Should you buy it?
PROBLEM 2.Rocks are sometimes used along coasts to prevent erosion. If a rock needs to weigh 2,000
kilograms (about 2 tons) in order not to be shifted by waves, how big (what volume) does it need to be?
You are using basalt, which has a typical density of 3200 kg/m 3
PROBLEM 3. You have a sample of granite with density 174.8 lbs/ft 3. The density of water is 62.4 lbs/ft3.
What is the specific gravity of the granite now?
PROBLEM 4. You have a sample of granite with density 2.8 g/cm3. The density of water is 1.0 g/cm3. What
is the specific gravity of your granite?
PROBLEM 5. You have a rock with a volume of 15cm3 and a mass of 45 g. What is its density?
PROBLEM 6.An unknown fluid in a 1 liter beaker has a mass of 3 kg. Determine the density, the specific
volume, the specific weight, and the specific gravity of the fluid.
PROBLEM 7. A golf ball has a diameter of 42 mm and a mass of 45 g. What is its density?
Problem8: A 1-m diameter and 1.6-m height cylindrical drum is filled with a fluid whose density is 850
kgm/m3. Determine the following:

1. Volume of the fluid in ft3.

2. Mass of the fluid in lbm.
3. Specific volume in ft3/lbm.
4. Specific weight in lbf/ft3.

Problem: Compute the height in feet of a high building if the pressure at the ground floor is 30 in Hg and at
the top of the building is 28.5 in Hg. Assume that the density of air is 0.075 lb m/ft3. (3pts)
Problem10 :Given the barometric pressure of 14.7psia (29.92 in Hg abs), convert 15 in Hg vacuum to psia.
Problem11: Convert 67degree celcius to rankine
