difference in pressures between A and
PROBLEMS: B.

1) A certain type of jet fuel in a 1.25𝑚 3

container has a mass of 969kg.
a. What is its mass density?
b. What is its specific weight?
c. What is its gravity force?

2) The closed tank is filled with water and

is 5m long. The pressure gage on the
tank reads 50 kPa. Determine:
a. the height, h, in the open water
column.
b. the gage pressure acting on the
bottom tank surface AB.
c. The absolute pressure of the
air in the top of the tank. 6) In the given figure, water and gasoline
(sg=0.68) surfaces are open to the
atmosphere and at the same elevation.
What is the height of h of the third
liquid in the right leg?

3) The pressure gage in a given tank reads

134 mm Hg. Calculate the equivalent
height column of oil.

4) Determine the gage pressure at A in

the given open-type manometer.
7) A 3mm𝜙 tube is inserted in mercury
and later in water,

a. Assuming the tube is clean so

that its angle of contact with
water is 0° and the surface
tension is 0.00728 𝑁/𝑚. What
is the amount of rise?
b. Angle of contact with mercury,
𝜎=0.5140 𝑁/𝑚, 𝜃 = 140°, h=?

8) Chlorine gas at 30°𝐶 is under a

pressure of 481 kPa. Assume a gas
𝑁−𝑚
constant of 117 . Calculate the
𝑘𝑔−𝐾
specific volume (𝜈).
