1. A 10m diameter tank has a height of 5m and is full of water at 20C with a specific weight of
9.789KN/m3. Determine the mass of water that will over spill over the edge of the tanks if the
water is heated to 50C wherein the specific weight of water becomes 9.689KN/m 3.

2. A certain volume of water was subjected to a pressure of 14MPaabs. Determine the percentage
of the volume decreased by the original volume if the bulk modulus of elasticity of water is
2200N/mm2.
a. % 20pts
3. A gas is under a pressure of 21.868barg at 40C. Compute for the molecular weight of the gas if its
specific weight is 362N/m3.
