A block of wood that

weighs 79.21 N and of
specific gravity 0.69 is
tied by a string to the
bottom of a tank of water in
order to have the block
totally immersed. Determine
the tension of the string.

A. 36.79 N C. 35.59 N
B. 39.69 N D. 37.49 N

21. Modern airplanes design

calls for a lift due to the
net force of the moving air
in the wing of about 2100
N/m2 of wing area. Assume
that air density (density =
1.2 kg/m3) flows past the
wing of an air-craft with
streamline flow. If the
speed of flow put the lower
wing surface is 169 m/s,
what is the required speed
over the upper surface to
give a lift of 2100 N/m2.

A. 199 m/s C. 189 m/s

B. 169 m/s D. 179 m/s

33. An ore sample weighs

21.4 N in air. When the
sample is suspended by light
chord and totally immersed
in water, the tension in the
cord is 9.3 N. Find the
total volume of the sample.

A. 1.23 x 10-4 m3
B. 1.23 x 10-3 m3
C. 4.93 x 10-3 m3
D. 4.93 x 10-4 m3

45. A rigid container is

closed at one end and
measures 7 in. Diameter by 9
in. Long. The container is
held vertically and is
slowly moved downward until
the pressure in the
container is 21 psia. What
will be the depth of the
water surface measure from
the free water surface.

A. 73.6 in. C. 77 in.

A. 76.3 in. D. 79.3
in.
