Problem 1.

36

[Difficulty: 1]

Given: Find: Solution:

Data on a container and added water. Weight and volume of water added. Use Appendix A.

For the empty container

Wc = 3.5 lbf M total = 2.5 slug

For the filled container

The weight of water is then

Ww = M total g Wc ft 1 lbf s Ww = 2.5 slug 32.2 3.5 lbf 2 1 slug ft s

2

Ww = 77.0 lbf

The temperature is

90F = 32.2C

and from Table A.7

= 1.93

slug ft
3

Hence

Vw =

Mw

or

Ww Vw = g

1 s 1 ft 1 slug ft Vw = 77.0 lbf 2 32.2 ft 1.93 slug 1 lbf s

Vw = 1.24ft
