CHAPTER TEST
Answer the following problems below. Determine what is being asked for in the
following problems.
1. Note that the gravity acceleration at equatorial sea level is g=32.088 fps 2 and that its variation is -0.003
fps2/1000 ft ascent. Find the height in miles above this point for which a) the gravity acceleration
becomes g=30.504 fps2, b) the weight of a given man is decreased by 5%. c) what is the weight of a 180
lbm man atop the 29,131-ft Mt. Everest in Tibet, relative to this point?

2. A beer barrel has a mass of 20lbm and a volume of 5 gallons. Beer’s density is 62.4 lbm/ft3. Determine
the total mass and weight of the barrel when it is filled with beer.

3. A gasoline line is connected to a pressure gage through a double-U manometer, as shown in Figure. If
the reading of the pressure gage is 370 kPa, determine the gage pressure of the gasoline line.

4. Consider the system shown in Figure. If a change of 0.7 kPa in the pressure of air causes the brine–
mercury interface in the right column to drop by 5 mm in the brine level in the right column while the
pressure in the brine pipe remains constant, determine the ratio of A2/A1.

5. The basic barometer can be used to measure the height of a building. If the barometric readings at the
top and at the bottom of a building are 675 and 695 mmHg, respectively, determine the height of the
building. Take the densities of air and mercury to be 1.18 kg/m 3 and 13,600 kg/m3, respectively.
