Problem 1

In an experiment the weight of 2.5m^3


certain liquid is found to be 18.75KN. Find
the specific weight of the liquid. Also find
its density
Problem 2
A vessel of 4m^3 volume contains an oil
which weighs 30.2KN. Determine specific
gravity of the oil.
Problem 3
Determine the relative density (specific gravity)
of an oil. If 3.0 tonnes of the oil occupies a
volume 4m^3
Problem 4
Determine the density, specific gravity, and mass
of the air in a room whose dimensions are 4 m x
5 m x 6 m at 100 kPa and 25°C.
Problem 5
Consider water initially at 20°C and 1 atm.
Determine the final density of the water (a) if it
is heated to 50°C at a constant pressure of 1
atm, and (b) if it is compressed to 100-atm
pressure at a constant temperature of 20°C. Take
the isothermal compressibility of water to be α =
4.80 x 10^-5/atm.
Problem 6
The pressure in an automobile tire depends on the
temperature of the air in the tire. When the air
temperature is 25°C, the pressure gage reads
210kPa. If the volume of the tire is 0.025 m^3,
determine the pressure rise in the tire when the air
temperature in the tire rises to 50°C. Also,
determine the amount of air that must be bled off to
restore pressure to its original value at this
temperature. Assume the atmospheric pressure to be
100kPa.
