Problem 1.36 PDF

This problem provides data on the weight of an empty container and the total weight when the container is filled with water. It then calculates the weight and volume of the water added by subtracting the weight of the empty container from the total weight, and using the water density at a given temperature to determine the volume from the calculated weight. The weight of added water is 77.0 lbf and its volume is 1.24 ft3.

Problem 1.

36 [Difficulty: 1]

Given: Data on a container and added water.

Find: Weight and volume of water added.

Solution: Use Appendix A.

For the empty container Wc = 3.5⋅ lbf

For the filled container M total = 2.5⋅ slug

The weight of water is then Ww = M total ⋅ g − Wc

ft 1⋅ lbf ⋅ s
Ww = 2.5⋅ slug × 32.2⋅ × − 3.5⋅ lbf Ww = 77.0 lbf
2 1⋅ slug ⋅ ft
s

slug
The temperature is 90°F = 32.2°C and from Table A.7 ρ = 1.93⋅

ft

Mw Ww
Hence Vw = or Vw =
ρ g⋅ ρ

Vw = 77.0⋅ lbf × ⋅ × ⋅ × Vw = 1.24ft
32.2 ft 1.93 slug 2
