1. A pressure gage registers 50 psig in a region where the barometer is 14.25 psia. Find the absolute pressure in kg/cm 2.
2. Two liquids of different densities ( ρ 1 = 1500 kgm/m3), ( ρ 2 = 500 kgm/m3) are poured together into a 100-L tank, filling it. If the resulting density of the
mixture is 800 kgm/m3, find the respective quantities of liquids used. Also, find the weight of mixture; local g = 9.675 mps 2.
3. Determine the specific weight of water at standard condition in, kgf/m3.
4. A reservoir of glycerin (glyc) has a mass of 1200 kg and a volume of 0.952m3. Find the glycerin’s weight (W) in kN, mass density in kg/m3, specific
weight in kN/m3, and specific gravity.
5. A body requires a force of 100 N to accelerate it at rate of 0.20 m/s2. Determine the mass of the body in kilograms and in slugs.
6. The specific gravity of ethyl alcohol is 0.79. Calculate its specific weight (in both pounds per cubic foot and kilonewtons per cubic meter) and mass
density (in both slugs per cubic foot and kilograms per cubic meter)
7. A quart of water weights about 2.08 lb. Compute its mass in slugs and in kilograms.
8. Determine the weight of a 5-slug boulder at a place where the acceleration due to gravity is 31.7 ft/s2? In lb.
9. If 200 ft3 of oil weighs 10,520 lb, calculate its specific weight in lb/ft3, density in slugs/ft3, and specific gravity.
