1.

Unit Weight
= 46800/5.6
= 8357.14 N/m3
b. Density
Density = 8357.14/9.81 = 852kg/m3
c. Specific Gravity
Sp.Gr = 852/1000
Sp.Gr= 0.85
2.
Weight = 1200(9.81)
= 11772 N
= 11.77 kN
Mass Density
= m/v
= 1200/0.952
= 1260.5 kg/m3
b. Specific Weight
= w/v
= 11.77/0.952
= 12.36kN/m3
c. Specific Gravity
Sp.Gr = 12.36/9.81 = 1/26

3.

a. Density
Density = 0.500/0.325 = 15.38 kg/m3
b. Specific Weight
Sp.Wt. = 15.38(9.81) = 15088 N/m3
c. Weight
Weight = 15.1(0.325) = 4.9 kN
4.
a. Mass Density
= 56000/9.81 = 5708 kg/m3
b. Specific Volume = 1/
Sp. Vol. = 1/5708 = 0.000175 m3/kg
c. Specific Gravity
Sp.gr= 56/9.81 = 5.71
5.
a. Mass Density
= 2230/9.81 = 227.32 kg/m3

b. M= vol
M= 227.302 (0.001) = 0.23 kg

c. Specific Volume = 1/
Sp. Vol. = 1/227.32 = 0.0044 m3/kg

6.
Mass in Slugs

W = mg
4.08 = m (32.2)
m= 0.1267 slugs
b. Mass in kg
m = 0.1267 (32.2) / 2.2 = 1.85kg
c. Volume in ft3
W = Vol.
4.08 = 62.4 Vol.
Vol. = 0.065 ft3
7.
Weight of water = V
so V50 = 160 V160
62.4 (3.5) = 61 V160
V160 = 3.5803 ft3
b. Change in Volume
Change in Volume = (3.5803 3.50) / 3.50 = 0.023 = 2.3% (increase)
c. Wt. of water that must be removed
= (3.5803 3.50) (61) = 4.90 lb
8.
a. Weight of water:
V1 = (10)2 (5)/4 = 392.70 m3
w1 = V1 D1
w1= 392.70 ( 9.789) = 3844.14
b. Final volume when heated a temp of 50 C
w2 = V2 D2
3844.14 = V2 (9.689)

V2 = 396.75 m3
c. Volume of water:
V = 396.75 392.70 = 4.05 m3
