Note: For many problem in this chapter, values of various physical properties of fluids are obtained from

Tablas A-l through A8 in the Appendix.

1.1 A reservoir of glycerin (glyc) hasa massof 1200kg and a volume of 0.952 111.Find the glycerin 5 weight (W),
mass density (p),specif1c weight (1),and specific gravity (5. g. ).

F=W=ma=(1200)(9.81)=11770N 01' 11.77kN

p = m/V = 1200/0952 = 1251kg/m
y= W/V =11.77/0.952 =12.36 kN/m
5.5. = Yyg/an ...c= 12.36/9.81 = 1.26

1.1 A body requires a force of 100N to accelerateit at a rate of 0.10 m/s. Determine the massof the body in
kilogxams and in slugs.
F = ma
100 = (m)(0.20)
m = 500 kg 500/14.59 = 34.3 slugs

1.3 A reservoir of carbon tetrachloride (CCL) has a massof 500 kg and a volume of 0.315 m. Find the carbon
teuachlorides weight, mass density, specific weight, and specific gravity.

. F = W = ma = (500)(9.81)= 4905N or 4.905kN

p = m/V = 500/0315 = 1587kg/m
y= W/V = 4305/0315 = 15.57kN/m
s.g. = YCCk/YI'WMVC= 155719.81 = 1.59

1.4 The weight of a body is 1001b. Demmüne (11)its weight in newtons, (b) its mass in kilograms, and (c) the rate
of acceleration [in both feet per second per second(ft/s) and metersper secondper second(m/s)] if a nel
force of 50 lb is applied to the body.

l (a) w= (100)(4.448)=444.8N
(b) F _ w = ma 444.8 = ()(9. 81) m = 45.34 kg

(c) m = 4534/1459 = 3.108 slugs

F = ma 50 = 3.10841 . a = 16.09ft/s2= (16.09)(0.3048) = 4.904 m/s1

1.5 The speciiic gravity of ethyl alcohol is 0.79. Calculate its specific weight (in both pounds per cubic foot and
kilonewtons per cubic meter) and massdensity (in both slugs per cubic foot and kilograms per cubic meter).

l y = (0.79)(62.4) = 49.3 lb/ft y = (0.79)(9. 79) = 7,73 kN/m

p = (0.79)(1.94) = 1.53 slugs/ft p = (0. 79)(1000) = 790 kg/m3

1.6 A quan of water weights about2.08 1b.Computeits massin slugsand in kilograms.

l F = W = ma 2.08= (m)(32.2)
m = 0.0646 slug m = (0.0646)(14.59) = 0.943 kg

1.7 One cubic foot of glycerin hasa massof 2.44 slugs.Find its specim: weight in both poundsper cubic foot and
kilonewwns per cubic meter.

| r = W =ma = (2.44)(32.2) = 70m. Since the glycerins volume is 1 ni, y = 78.6lb/ft =

(78.6)(4.448)/(0.304s)3_ 12 350 N/m, or 12.35 kN/m.
