2nd Semester A.Y 2023-2024
I. PROBLEM SOLVING: Provide the correct answer. Write your
answer on any piece of paper (must be readable & clear) with
corresponding solution. (10 pts: Rubrics: illustration 2pt, Identify
and Set-up 2 pt, Execution 4 pts, and Evaluation 2 pt)
1 – 10. Fluid & Density!
Problem: Find the mass and weight of the air at 24.36°C in
a living room with a 6.0m x 8.0m floor and a ceiling 5.59 m
high, and the mass and weight of an equal volume of water.
Hint: Assume that the air density is the same throughout
the room. (Air is less dense at high elevations than near sea
level, but the density varies negligibly over the room’s 3.0-m
height!

21– 30. Finding the Total Volume and the Density of the sample:
Q: An ore sample weighs 17.85 N in air. When the sample is
suspended by a light cord and totally immersed in water, the tension in
the cord is 13.63 N. Find the total volume and the density of the
sample.
Hint: Review how to get the total volume and the density!

31– 40. Fluid Pressure! What a force must a dam
withstand?
Problem: Consider the pressure and force acting on the dam
retaining a reservoir of water (shown in the figure). Suppose the
dam is 600-m wide and the water is 100.0-m deep at the dam.
(a) What is the average pressure on the dam due to the water?
(b) Calculate the force exerted against the dam?
Hint: Fluid Pressure!
