2.5 Calculate the density and specific weight of carbon dioxide at a
pressure of 300 kN/m^2 absolute and 60°C.

2.18 What is the change in the viscosity and density of water between
10°C and 70°C? What is the change in the viscosity and density of air
between 10°C and 70°C? Assume standard atmospheric pressure (p=101 kN
m2 absolute).
2.45 A pressure of 2x10^6 N/m^2 is applied to a mass of water that
initially filled a 2000 cm3 volume. Estimate its volume after the
pressure is applied.

2.50 A spherical soap bubble has an inside radius R, a film thickness

t, and a surface tension
. Derive a formula for the pressure within the bubble relative to the
outside atmospheric pressure. What is the pressure difference for a
bubble with a 4 mm radius? Assume is the same as for pure water.

2.62Water is at 20°C, and the pressure is lowered until bubbles are

noticed to be forming. What must the magnitude of the pressure be?
3.16An engineer is designing a hydraulic lift with a capacity of 10
tons. The moving parts of this lift weigh 1000 lbf. The lift should
raise the load to a height of 6 ft in 20 seconds. This will be
accomplished with a hydraulic pump that delivers fluid to a cylinder.
Hydraulic cylinders with a stroke of 72 inches are available with bore
sizes from 2 to 8 inches. Hydraulic piston pumps with an operating
pressure range from 200 to 3000 psig are available with pumping
capacities of 5, 10, and 15 gallons per minute. Select a hydraulic
pump size and a hydraulic cylinder size that can be used for this
application.
3.59 Find the force of the gate on the block. See sketch.
3.73 For the plane rectangular gate (lx w in size), figure (a), what
is the magnitude of the reaction at A in terms of w and the dimensions
and w? For the cylindrical gate, figure (b), will the magnitude of the
reaction at A be greater than, less than, or the same as that for the
plane gate? Neglect the weight of the gates.
3.98 A weather balloon is constructed of a flexible material such that
the internal pressure of the balloon is always 10 kPa higher than the
local atmospheric pressure. At sea level the diameter of the balloon
is 1 m, and it is filled with helium. The balloon material, structure,
and instruments have a mass of 100 g. This does not include the mass
of the helium. As the balloon rises, it will expand. The temperature
of the helium is always equal to the local atmospheric temperature, so
it decreases as the balloon gains altitude. Calculate the maximum
altitude of the balloon in a standard atmosphere.

3.105 A cylindrical block of wood 1 m in diameter and 1 m long has a

specific weight of 7500 N m3. Will it float in water with its axis
vertical?
