HOMEWORK #1

1. Find the mass of ethane if the atmospheric pressure = 796 torr. The gas has a volume
equal to 64.3 ft3 at a temperature of 39 degrees Celsius.

2. For the tank shown in the figure, compute the pressure at pts B, C, D and E in kPa.
Neglect the weight of air.

3. If 5.6m3 of oil weighs 46,800N, calculate the ff:

• Unit weight
• Density
• Specific gravity

4. The volume of a tetrachloride having a mass of 1200kg is 0.952 m3. Compute the ff.
• Density
• Specific weight
• Specific gravity

5. Determine the surface tension (N/m and lb/ft) in a tube with 0.2m radius and wetting
angle of 0o. The capillary rise is 5mm.
• If the wetting angle became 80 degrees, what is the surface tension?

6. A pressure gage at elevation 12m at the side of the tank containing a liquid reads
100kPa. Another gage at elevation reads 140 kPa. Find the ff.
• Specific weight
• Density
• Specific gravity

7. An open tank contains 5.7m of water with 2.8m of kerosene having a unit weight of
8kN/m3. If the diameter of the tank is 1m,
• What is the pressure at the interface of water and kerosene?
• What is the pressure at the bottom of the tank?
• What is the total force at the bottom?
8. For the setup shown, calculate the manometer reading H. The tube has a diameter of
6cm.
