Questions of Chapter 1

Q1) A quart of SAE 30 oil at 68 weighs about 1.85 lb. calculate the oil's specific weight,
mass density, and specific gravity?

Solution:
1
= = 0.3342 ft 3
(4)(7.48)
W 1.85
= = =55.4 lb/ft 3
V 0.03342
55.4
= = = 1.72 slugs/ft 3
32.2
55.4
s.g. = = = 0.888
2 4 62.4

Q2) The volume of a rock is found to be 0.00015 m3. If the rock's specific gravity is 2.60,
what is its weight?

Solution:

=(2.60)(9.79)=25.5 KN/m3
=(25.5)(0.00015)=0.00382 KN or 3.82 N

Q3) A certain gasoline weighs 46.5 lb/ft3. What are its mass density, specific volume, and
specific gravity?

Solution:
46.5
= = = 1.44 slugs/ft 3
32.2
1 1
= = =0.694 ft 3 /slug
1.44
1.44
s.g. = =0.742
1.94
Q4) The weight of a body is 100 lb. determine (a) its weight in newtons, (b) its mass in
kilograms, and (c) the rate of acceleration in [ft/s2] and in [m/s2] if a net force of 50 lb is
applied to the body.
() = (100)(4.448) = 444.8
() = = 444.8 = ()(9.81) = 45.34
45.34
() = = 3.108
14.59
= 50 = 3.108 = 16.09 / 2 = (16.09)(0.3048) = 4.904 / 2

Q5) {a} calculate the density, specific weight, and specific volume of oxygen at 20 and
40 kPa abs. {b} if the oxygen is enclosed in a rigid container, what will be the pressure if
the temperature is reduced to -100 ?

Solution:
(40)(1000)
() = = = 0.525/3
[(260)(20 + 273)]
1 1
= = (0.525)(9.81) = 5.15 /3 = = 0.525 = 1.90 3 /

1
(b) = = .
= =

20 + 273 100 + 273


= 2 = 23.6
40 2
