1. What is the weight of a 45 kg boulder if it is brought to a place where the
acceleration due to gravity is 395 m/sec per minute?
GIVEN: m = 45 kg REQ’D: Weight (W)
g = 395 m/sec per minute
SOLUTION:

2. Find the mass density of helium at a temperature of 4 oC and a pressure

of 184 kPa gage if atmospheric pressure is 101.92 kPa (R = 2079 Joule/kg
– oK).

GIVEN: T = 4°C Pg = 184 kPa REQ’D: Mass Density (𝜌)

Pa = 101.92 kPa
R = 2079 Joule/kg-°K
 SOLUTION:
Conversion:
T = 4°C = 4 + 273 = 277°K
Pg = 184 kPa = 184x103 Pa = 184000 Pa
Pa = 101.92 kPa = 101.92x103 = 101920 Pa

3. A cylindrical tank 80 cm in diameter and 90 cm high is filled with a liquid.

The tank and the liquid weighed 420 kg. The weight of the empty tank is
40 kg. What is the unit weight of the liquid in kN / m3?
GIVEN: d = 80 cm mTL = 420 kg REQ’D: Unit Weight (ɤ)
h = 90 cm mTE = 40 kg
r = 40 cm g = 9.81 m/s2

4. What pressure is required to reduce the volume of water by 0.6 %. Bulk

modulus of elasticity of water is EB = 2.2 GPa.
GIVEN: EB = 2.2 GPa REQ’D: Change in Pressure (dp or p)
