Applied Mechanics II SAIT

AMEC 356
Practice Problem 1:

1. Convert 2500 cubic feet per minute to cubic meters per second. (1.18 m3 /s)

2. Calculate the velocity in m/s of a 175g body if it has a kinetic energy of 212 mN.m. (1.56 m/s)

3. Compute the pressure produced in the oil in a closed cylinder by a piston exerting a force of
12.0 kN on the enclosed oil. The piston has a diameter of 75 mm. (p = 2.72 MPa)

4. A certain medium lubricating oil has a specific weight of 8.860 kN/m3 at 5o C and 8.483
kN/m3 at 50o C. Calculate its specific gravity at each temperature. (0.903@5°C), 0.865@50°C

5. A cylindrical can 150 mm in diameter is filled to a depth of 100 mm with a fuel oil.
The oil has a mass of 1.56 kg. Calculate its density, specific weight, and specific gravity.
(ρo = 883 kg/m3 , γo = 8.66 kN/m3 , sg = 0.883)

6. A reservoir of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4 ) has a mass of 500 kg and a volume of 0.315 m3 .
Find the carbon tetrachloride’s weight, mass density, specific weight, and specific gravity.
(w = 4.905 kN, ρ = 1587 kg/m3 , γ = 15.57 kN/m3 , sg = 1.59)

7. The fuel tank of an automobile holds 0.095 m3 . If it is full of gasoline having a specific
gravity of 0.68, calculate the weight of the gasoline. (w = 634 N)

8. A storage vessel for gasoline (sg = 0.68) is a vertical cylinder 10m in diameter. If it is filled to
a depth of 6.75 m, calculate the weight and mass of the gasoline. (w = 3.536 MN, m = 360.5 Mg)

9. A rock has specific gravity of 2.32 and a volume of 1.42 × 10−4 m3 . How much does it
weigh? (w = 3.23 N)

10. Air at 59o F and standard atmospheric pressure has a specific weight of 0.0765 lb/ft3 . Calcu-
late its density. (ρ = 2.38 × 10−3 slugs/ft3 )

11. One gallon of a certain fuel oil weighs 7.50 lb. Calculate its specific weight, its density and
its specific gravity. (γo = 56.1 lb/ft3 , ρo = 1.74 slugs/ft3 , sg = 0.899)

12. The information on a can of pop indicates that the can contains 355 mL. The mass of a full
can of pop is 0.369 kg while an empty can weights 0.153 N. Determine the specific weight,
density, and specific gravity of the pop and compare your results with the corresponding val-
ues for water at 20°C. Express your results in SI units. (γ = 9770 N/m3 , ρ = 996 kg/m3 ),
(sg = 0.996)
