Test 2. Problem Solving

1. (15 pts) The fuel gage for a gasoline tank in a car reads proportional to the bottom gage
pressure as in the figure below. If the tank is 30 cm deep and accidentally contains 2 cm
of water plus gasoline, how many cm of air remains at the top if the gage erroneously
reads “full”? Figure 1.

2. (15 pts) In the figure 2, atm. is p=14.7 psia, the gage pressure reading at A is 5 psi and
PV of alcohol is 1.7 psia. Compute x and y. Figure 2

3. (15 pts) In figure 3, both ends of the manometer is open to the atmosphere. Estimate the
specific gravity of fluid X.

4. (10 pts) If water occupies a 1 cu. m at 1 atm pressure, estimate the pressure required to
reduce its volume by 5%.

5. (15 pts) A force of 445 N is exerted on lever AB as shown. What force F D must be
exerted on the larger piston to prevent it from moving in its cylinder.
6. (10 pts).The manometer in figure 5 contains meriam red manometer oil s.g. 0.827.
Assume that the reservoir is large. If the inclined arm is fitted with graduations 1 inch
apart, what should the angle  be if each gaduation corresponds to 1psf gage pressure
for PA?

Bonus: 10 pts
In figure 6, if pressure at A is 1900 psf, determine pressure at B,C and D.
