1. If the scale is twice the ºC scale, what is the reading in the Fahrenheit scale?

2. A condenser vacuum gauge reads 715 mmHg when the barometer stands at 757 mmHg. What is the absolute pressure in the condenser
in Pascal.

3. What pressure is column of water 100 cm high equivalent to?

4. A reservoir of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) has a mass of 500 kg and a volume of 0.315m3. Find the glycerin’s weight (W) in kN, mass
density in kg/m3, specific weight in kN/m3, and specific gravity.

5. The weight of a body is 100 lb. Determine its weight in N, its mass in kg, and the rate of acceleration both in ft/s 2 and m/s2 if a net
force 50 lb is applied to the body.

6. One cubic foot of glycerin has a mass of 2.44 slugs. Find its specific weight in both pounds per cubic foot and kilonewtons per cubic
meter.

9. An object at a certain location has a mass of 2.0 kg and weighs 19 N on a spring balance, what is the acceleration due to gravity at this
location in m/s2.

10. What would be the weight of a 3-kg mass on a planet in Newton, where the acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s 2?

11. Under standard conditions a certain gas weigh 0.14 lb/ft3. Calculate its density in slug/ft3, specific volume ft3/slug, and specific gravity
relative to air weighing 0.075 lb/ft3.
