Questions

1. A reservoir of glycerin has a mass of 1002kg and a volume of


0.952m3. Find the glycerin’s weight(w), mass density ( ρ), Specific
weight (γ ) and specific gravity.
Answer

Mass, m ꓿ 1002kg
Volume, v ꓿ 0.952m3
Weight, F ꓿?

But F ꓿ m x g (where g ꓿ 9.81)


F ꓿ 1002 x 9.81
꓿9829.62N

m
Mass density ꓿ v
1002
꓿ 0.952

꓿1052.52kg/m3

Specific weight (γ )꓿ density ( ρ ) x acceleration due to gravity(g)
꓿ 1052.52 x 9.81
꓿ 10325.22N

density of substance
Specific gravity ꓿ density of water

1052.52
꓿ 1000

꓿ 1.053

Therefore, the weight of glycerin, mass density, specific weight and


specific gravity are 9829.62N, 1052.52kg/m3, 10325.22N and 1.053
respectively.

2. A body requires a force of 100N to accelerate it at a rate of
0.2m/s2.
Determine the mass of the body in Kilograms.

Answer

Force, F꓿ 100N
Acceleration due to gravity, g ꓿ 0.2m/s2
Mass, m ꓿?

F꓿ mxg
F
m꓿ g
100
꓿ 0.2

꓿ 500kg

Therefore, the mass of the body is 500kg.

3.Find the Carbon tetra Chloride (CCl4) has a mass of 500kg and a
volume of 0.315m3. Find the Carbon tetra Chloride weight, mass density
( ρ ), specific weight (γ )and specific gravity.

Answer

Mass, m꓿ 500kg
Volume, v꓿ 0.315m3

Weight, F꓿ mg
꓿500 x 9.81
꓿4905N

m

꓿ 0.315
꓿1587.3kg/m3

Specific weight (γ )꓿ density ( ρ ) x acceleration due to gravity(g)


꓿1587.3 x 9.81
꓿15571.41N

density of substance
Specific gravity ꓿ density of water
1587.3
꓿ 1000
꓿1.59
Therefore, the weight, mass density, specific weight and specific gravity
are 4905N, 1587.3kg/m3, 15571.413N and 1.59 respectively.

4.The density of an oil is 775kg/m3. Find its specific gravity and
kinematic viscosity of the oil if the dynamic viscosity is 3 x 10-3kg/ms.

Answer

Density ꓿ 775kg/m3

density of substance
Specific gravity ꓿ density of water
775
꓿ 1000

꓿0.775
dynamic viscosity
Kinematic viscosity ꓿ density
0.003
꓿ 775

꓿3.87 x 10-6m2/s

Therefore, the specific gravity and kinematic viscosity of the oil is


0.775 and 3.87 x 10-6m2/s.
