Part II: Problem Solving

Direction: Answer the following problems. Minimize erasure and lastly follow the process of solving
word problem (given, what is asked, formula etc.).

1. An unknown fluid in a 1-liter beaker has a mass of 3 kg. Determine the (a) density, (b)
specific volume, (c) specific weight, and (d) specific gravity of the fluid.
2. 500.0 liters of a gas in a flexible-walled container are prepared at 700.0 mmHg and 200.0
°C. The gas is placed into a tank under high pressure. When the tank cools to 20.0 °C, the
pressure of the gas is 30.0 atm. What is the volume of the gas? (9.51 L)
3. Two horizontal plates placed 250mm have an oil of viscosity 20 poises. Calculate the
shear stress in oil if upper plate is moved with velocity of 1250mm/s.

Bonus:

1. What is the specific gravity of a solid sphere that has a radius of 15 mm and has a mass of
0.038 kg?
2. For 2 points, when did I graduated? (month/day/year)
