2 Hydrostatics Continuation

1. The document contains 12 physics problems involving pressure, fluid statics, and levers. 2. The problems calculate things like absolute pressure at different points, height of liquid surfaces, pressure exerted by liquids on surfaces, and forces exerted by levers transferring pressure. 3. The problems are solved using equations for absolute pressure, pressure due to height of liquids, relationships between pressure and force on surfaces, and lever mechanics.

Summation of pressure

Pabs = Pgage + Patm


350 = 9.81h + 9.81(13.6(0.8) + 180
h = 6.45 m

PB = 9.81(6.45 + 0.8) + 180


PB = 251.12 kPa

4. For the vessel containing glycerin under pressure as shown, find the pressure
at the bottom of the tank. Specific gravity of glycerin is 1.26.
p = 50 + hγ
p = 50 + 9.81(1.26)(2) = 74.72 kPa

5. If the atmospheric pressure is 0.9 bar abs and a gage attached to a tank reads
390 mm of Hg vacuum, what is the absolute pressure within the tank?

p = γh
p = 0.9(100) = 90 kPa
p = 13.6(9.81)(390/1000) = 52.03 kPa vacuum
pabs = 90 – 52.03 = 37.97 kPa

6. The closed tank shown is at 20˚C. If the pressure at A is 98 kPa abs, what is
the absolute pressure at point B? What percent error results from neglecting
the specific weight of the air? γAIR = 0.0118 kPa

pA + γAIRhAC -γwhDC – γAIRhDB = pB


98 + (0.0118)(5) – (9.81)(5-3) – (0.0118)(3) = pB
pB = 78.404 kPa
Neglecting Air
pB = 98 – (9.81)(5-3) = 78.38 kPa
error = (78.404-78.38)/78.404 = 0.000306 or 0.0306%
7. The tube shown is filled with oil. Determine the pressure heads at A and B in
meters of water.

γwhw – γoilhoil = 0
hA = (2.2 + 0.6)(0.85) = 2.38 m of water
hB = 0.6(0.85) = 0.51 m of water

8. For the open tank, with piezometer attached on the side, containing two
different liquids, as shown, find the (a) elevation of the liquid surface in
piezometer A, (b) elevation of the liquid surface in piezometer B and (c) total
pressure at the bottom of the tank.
(a) The height of liquid at piezometer A is the same elevation on the tank (elev
2m)
(b) p = γh = 0.72(9.81)(2-0.3) = 12.007 kPa
h = p/γ = 12.007/(2.36)(9.81) = 0.518m
hB = 0.3 + 0.518 = 0.818 m
(c) pBOTTOM = 12.007 + 2.36(9.81)(0.3) = 18.95 kPa

9. Determine the weight W that can be equilibrated by the force acting on the
piston on the figure.

p1 = p2
F1/A1 = F2/A2
1.25/[π(35)2/4] = W/[π(250)2/4]
W = 63.8 kN

10. A cylindrical tank contains water at height of 55 mm, as shown. Inside a


smaller open cylindrical tank containing cleaning fluid (sg = 0.8) at height
h. If pB = 13.4 kPa gage and pC = 13.42 kPa gage, what are the gage
pressure pA and height h of the cleaning fluid? Assume that the cleaning
fluid is prevented from moving to the top of the tank.

pA + 9.81(o.o55) = 13.42
pA = 12.88 kPa
12.88 + 9.81(0.055 -h) + 0.8(9.81)h = 13.4
h = 0.009964 m = 9.964 mm

11. For the set up shown, calculate the absolute pressure at a. Assume standard
atmospheric pressure, 101.3 kPa.

101.3 + 9.81(0.6 – 0.2) – 13.6(9.81)(0.14) + [0.83(9.81)](0.14 + 0.09) = pA


pA = 88.42 kPa
12. A force of 460 N is exerted on lever AB as shown in the figure. End B is
connected to piston which fits into a cylinder having a diameter of 60 mm.
What force FD acts on larger piston, if the volume between C and D is filled
with water?

Let FC = force exerted on smaller piston at C;


FC = 460(220/120) = 843 N
FC / AC = FD / AD
843/[π(60/1000)2/4] = FD / [π(260/1000)2/4]
FD = 15,830 N = 15.83 kN
