Problem No. 1:

A cylindrical tank (inside diameter of 6 ft and ht of 12 ft) is totally filled with fluid whose
density is 60 lb/cu. ft. Find:
a. Total volume of the fluid in cu. ft and cu. M
b. Its total mass in lbs, slugs and kg
c. Its total weight in lbs, poundal and Newton if the local gravitation is 30.8
ft/s2
d. Its specific weight (g= 30.8 ft/s2) in lb/cu.ft and N/cu.m
e. Its specific volume in cu.ft/lb, cu.m/kg and liters/kg
f. Specify which properties are extensive and intensive.
