Enhancement Review-Hydraulics Quiz 1

1.Given a pressure of 150 kPa, what is the equivalent pressure head in centimeters of water?
2.If the atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa, what is the absolute pressure at a point 250 cm
below the
the free surface of oil (sp. gr.=0.80)?
3.A pressure gage is attached at the side of the tank that contains oil (sp. gr.= 0.80) and reads
850 cm.
Find the absolute pressure in kg/cm² if the barometer reads 760mm of Hg.
6. A mercury barometer is placed at the base of Mount Banahaw and reads 654mm and at the
same
time another mercury barometer is placed at the top of the mountain and reads 480mm.
Assuming
the specific weight of air to be constant at 12N/m³, what is the approximate height of Mt.
Banahaw?
7.An oil weigh 46,800N with a volume of 6.5 m³. Find its density in kg/m³.
A pressure gage is attached at the side of the tank with liquid at elevation 6m and reads 90 kPa
and
at the same time another gage at elevation 4m reads 110 kPa.
8 ▪ What is the specific weight of the liquid in kN/m³?
9 ▪What is the density of the liquid in kg/m³?
10▪What is the specific gravity of the liquid?
