Instructions: Answer the following on a Letter Sized Bond Paper. Show all pertinent solutions and
assumptions. Box and put a Smiley on your FINAL answer.
Solution:
The density of water is 1000 kg/m³, Therefore m= V =1000kg/m³ (1m³)= 1000 kg,You cannot carry
Solution:
Solution:
The car is cruising at a constant velocity, meaning zero acceleration thus the net force for both cases
are zero. ☺
4) A 1 m³ container is filled with 400 kg of granite stone, 200 kg dry sand and 0.2 m³ of liquid 25°C
water. Find the average specific volume and density of the masses when you exclude air mass
and volume. Assume density of water, density of stone, density of sand to be 1000 kg/m³, 2750
kg/m³, 1500 kg/m³ respectively.

7) Freshwater and seawater flowing in parallel horizontal pipelines are connected to each other by
a double U-tube manometer, as shown in the figure below. Determine the pressure difference
between the two pipelines. Take the density of seawater at that location to be 1035 kg/m3,
density of mercury to be 13600 kg/m3, Density of Fresh water to be 1000 kg/m3. Ignore the
effect of air column.
Starting with the pressure in the fresh water pipe (point 1) and moving along the tube by adding (as we
go down) or subtracting (as we go up) the gh terms until we reach the sea water pipe (point 2),and
setting the result equal to P2 gives
Starting with pressure of air in the tank (point 1), and moving along the tube by adding (as we go down)
or subtracting ( as we go up) the gh terms until we reach the free surface of oil where the oil tube is
exposed to the atmosphere, and setting the result equal to Patm gives
