1. A body requires a force of 100 N to accelerate it at a rate of 0,20

m/s2. Determine the mass of the body in ( a ) kilograms, and ( b )
slugs.
Jawab :
F = m.a
100 = m ( 0,20 )
m = 500 kg = 500 / 14,59 = 34,3 slugs
2. A reservoir of carbon tetrachloride has a mass of 500 kg and a
volume of 0,315 m3. Determine the carbon tetrachloride’s of ( a )
weight, ( b ) mass density, ( c ) specific ( or unit ) weight, and ( d )
specific gravity.
Jawab :
a. Weight
F = W = m.a = ( 500 ).(9,81) = 4905 N atau
= 4,905 kN
b. Mass density
ρ = m / V = 500 / 0,315 = 1587 kg/m3
c. Specific ( or unit ) weight
γ = W / V = 4,905 / 0,315 = 15,57 kN/m3
d. Specific Gravity
SG = γCCl4 / γH2O = 15,57 / 9,81 = 1,59
3. The weight of a body is 100 lb. Determine : ( a ) its weight in
newtons, ( b ) its mass in kilograms, and ( c ) the rate of

acceleration ( in both ft/s2 and m/s2 ) if a net force of 50 lb is

applied to the body.
Jawab :
a. Weight in Newtons
W = ( 100 ).( 4,448 ) = 444,8 N
b. Mass in kilograms
F = W = m.a
444,8 = m. ( 9,81 )
m = 45,34 kg
c. Acceleration if force 50 lb
m = 45,34/14,59 = 3,108 slugs
F = m.a
50 = 16,09 ft/s2 = ( 16,09 ) . ( 0,3048 ) = 4,904 m/s2
4. The specific gravity of ethyl alcohol is 0,79. Calculate its specific
( or unit ) weight and its mass density.
Jawab :
γ = ( 0,79 ).(62,4) = 49,3 lb/ft3
γ = ( 0,79 ).(9,79) = 7,73 kN/m3
ρ = ( 0,79 ).(1,94) = 1,53 slugs/ft3
ρ = ( 0,79 ).(1000) = 790 kg/m3
5. A quart of water weights about 2,08 lb. Compute its mass in slugs,
and in kilograms.

F = W = m.a
2,08 = ( m ).( 32,2 )
m = 0,0646 slug
m = ( 0,0646 ).(14,59) = 0,943 kg
6. One cubic foot of glycerin has a mass of 2,44 slugs. Find its
specific ( or unit ) weight in both lb/ft3 and kN/m3.
Jawab :
F = W = m.a = ( 2,44 ).( 32,2 ) = 78,6 lb
Karena volume gliserin adalah 1 ft3 maka :
γ = 78,6 lb/ft3 = ( 78,6 ).( 4,448 )/ (0,3048 )3
= 12350 N/m3 atau 12,35 kN/m3
7. A quart of SAE 30 oil at 68oF weight about 1,85 lb. Calculate the
oil’s ( a ) specific ( or unit ) weight, ( b ) mass density, and ( c )
specific gravity.
Jawab :
a. Specific ( or unit ) weight
V = 1/[ ( 4 ) ( 7,48 ) ] = 0,03342 ft3
γ = W/V = 1,85/0,03342 = 55,4 lb/ft3
b. Mass density
ρ = γ/g = 55,4/32,2 = 1,72 slugs/ft3
c. Specific gravity
SG = γOil/γH2O = 55,4/62,4 = 0,888

8. The volume of a rock is found to be found to be 0,00015 m 3. If the

rock’s specific gravity is 2,60 , what is its weight ?
Jawab :
γbatuan = ( 2,60 ).( 9,79 ) = 25,5 kN/m3
Wbatuan = ( 25,5 ).(0,00015 ) = 0,00382 kN = 3,82 N
