5. A batch of concrete is consisted of 209 lbs fine aggregate, 350 lbs coarse aggregate, 94 lbs cement, and 5 gallons water. The
specific gravity of sand and gravel may be taken as 2.65 and that of the cement as 3.10. What is the weight of concrete in
place per cubic foot? (ME Board Exam Oct. 1997) Ans. 153.058 lb/ ft 3

6. Two liquid of different densities ( ρ1 = 1500 kg/m 3, ρ2 = 500 kg/m 3), are poured together into a 100 liter tank, filling it. If

the resulting density of the mixture is 800 kg/m 3, find the respective amounts of liquids used. Also find the weight of the

mixture, local g = 9.675 m/ s2. Ans. m 1 = 45 kg

8. A barometer located at a ground floor registered 102 kPa. It was then transferred on top of the high-rise building where it
reads 97 kPa. Assuming that the average atmospheric air density is 1.0 kg m/ m 3, estimate the height of the building, in
meters. Ans. 509.68 m

height. Ans. 78.31 min
10. A fluid with a vapor pressure of 0.2 kPa and a specific gravity of 12 is used in a barometer. If the fluids column is 1 m, what
is the atmospheric pressure? (ME Board Exam Oct. 1997) Ans. 117.72 kPa

13. Assuming specific weight of air to be constant at 12 N/ m 3, what is the approximate height of Mount Banahaw if a mercury
barometer at the base of the mountain reads 654 mm and at the same instant, another barometer at the top of the mountain
reads 480 mm?
14. A barometer reads 760 mmHg and a pressure gage attached to a tank reads 850 cm of oil (S.G. = 0.80). What is the absolute
pressure in the tank in kPa?
15. What is the density (lb/ ft 3) and the specific gravity of 2 kg iron that has a volume of 30 m 3 in a 100L of water inside a

cylindrical drum. Find the pressure in kg/cm 2 at the base of the drum if the height of the drum is 30.
