PROBLEM SET 3
1. The specific weight of water at ordinary pressure and temperature is 62.4 lb/ft3 (9.81 kN/m3).
The specific gravity of mercury is 13.55. Compute the density of water and the specific weight and
density of mercury.
2. A 40-lb, 0.8-ft-diameter, I-ft-tall cylindrical tank slides slowly down a ramp with a constant speed
of 0.1 ft/s as shown in Fig. P1.2. The uniform-thickness oil layer on the ramp has a viscosity of 0.2
lb. s/ft2. Determine the angle, θ of the ramp. Ans. 7.22o
