Chapter Test: Answer The Following Problems Below. Determine What Is Being Asked For in The Following Problems

This document contains a 5-question chapter test on mechanics concepts. The questions ask the student to: 1) Calculate the height at which gravity changes given acceleration values at sea level. 2) Determine the total mass and weight of a beer barrel when filled. 3) Calculate the pressure in a gasoline line using readings from a manometer. 4) Determine a ratio based on changes in air pressure and a brine-mercury interface. 5) Calculate the height of a building using barometric readings at the top and bottom.

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.
