    This document contains the solutions to two physics problems involving specific gravity and density: 1) A block of wood floats with different heights in water and glycerin. By setting up and solving two equations involving the wood block's volume, the specific gravity of wood is calculated to be 0.658. 2) Pressure readings are given from gauges at different heights in a tank containing liquid. Using the relationship between pressure, height, and specific weight, the specific weight of the liquid is calculated to be 6.5 kN/m3. The density is then found to be 662.59 kg/m3, so the specific gravity of the liquid compared to water is 0.662.

    Physics for Engineers

    FINAL TERM
    ASSIGNMENT / SEATWORK#3
    “LINEAR AND VOLUME THERMAL”

    DATE OF PERFORMANCE: APRIL 11, 2022


    DATE OF SUBMISSION: APRIL 17, 2022

    ADORADOR, EINHER B.
    A. A block of wood floats in water with 5cm projecting above the water surface. When placed
    in glycerin of specific gravity of 1.35, the block projects 7.5 cm above the liquid. Determine the
    specific gravity of wood.

    Diagram:

    B. The pressure gage 6 m above the bottom of the tank containing a liquid reads 90 KPa;
    another gage height 4 m reads 103 KPa. Determine the specific weight of the liquid.

    Diagram:

    Solution:
    a. Let A= base area
    h = height of the wood

    W = BF1
    (sp.gr.w) (ധwater) (Vt) = (ധwater) VD
    sp.gr.w (Ah) = A(h-5)
    sp.gr.w = h-5/h
    W = BF2
    (sp.gr.w) (ധwater) (Vt) = (ധwater) VD
    sp.gr.w (Ah) = (1.35) (A)(h-7)
    sp.gr.w = 1.35(h-7.5)/h
    Equate (1) and (2):
    h-5/h = 1.35(h-7.5)/h
    h-5 = 1.35h - 10.125
    H = 14.64cm.

    Substitute in (1):
    sp.gr.w = 14.64 - 5/14.64 = 0.658

    b. Given data:
    H1 = 6m
    H2 = 4m
    P1 = 90kPa
    P2 = 103kPa

    P1 = y (x)
    P2 = y (x+ 2)

    The pressure difference is given by


    p2- p1 = y (x+2) - y(x)
    p2- p1 = y (x+2) - y(x)
    y = p2-p1/ (2)
    = 103-90 / (2)
    y= 6.5 kN/m3 thus, the specific weight of the liquid is y= 6.5
    kN/m3
    The density of the liquid is given by
    P = y/g
    = 6.5x103/9.81
    p = 662.59kg/m3 thus, the density of fluid is p=
    662.59kg/m3

    (Ywater =9810 kg/m3)


    S = Yliquid /Ywater
    = 6.5x103/9810
    s = 0.662
    Thus, the specific weight of liquid is s = 0.662
