Determine the mass and the weight of the air contained in a room whose dimensions are 6 m _
6 m _ 8 m. Assume the
density of the air is 1.16 kg/m3.
9. The constant-pressure specific heat of air at 25C is 1.005 kJ/kg C. Express this value in kJ/kg-K. J/g C, kcal/kg-C, and
Btu/lbm-F.

13. A 4-kW resistance heater in a water heater runs for 2 hours to raise the water temperature to the desired level.
Determine the amount of electric energy used in both kWh and kJ.

38. The temperature of water changes by 10F during a process. Express this temperature change in Celcius (C), Kelvin (K),
and Rankine (R) units.

49. The water in a tank is pressurized by air, and the pressure is measured by a multifluid manometer as shown in
Fig. Pl-53. Determine the gage pressure of air in the tank if /;, = 0.2 m, h2 = 0.3 m, and h3 = 0.46 m. Take the densities
of water, oil, and mercury to be 1000 kg/m3, 850 kg/m3, and 13,600 kg/m3, respectively.

54. The diameters of the pistons shown in Fig. P1-58E are Dj = 3 in and D2 = 1.5 in. Determine the pressure in
chamber 3, in psia, when the other pressures are /', = 150 psia and P2 = 250 psia.

63. A gas is contained in a vertical, frictionless piston-cylinder device. The piston has a mass of 3.2 kg and a cross-sectional area
of 35 cm2. A compressed spring above the piston exerts a force of 150 N on the piston. If the atmospheric pressure is 95 kPa,
determine the pressure inside the cylinder.

79. The gage pressure of the air in the tank shown in Fig. PI-83 is measured to be 80 kPa. Determine the differential
height h of the mercury column.
