Homework Assignment No.1
I. Indicate whether the following statements are true or false 1.
Kilogram, second, foot, and newton are all examples of SI units. (Hint: see Table 1.3) B: False Kilogram, second and newton are SI units. Foot is an English unit. 2.
The specific volume is the reciprocal of the density. (Hint: see Sec. 1.3.4) A: True Specific volume=
Density=
3.
The value of a temperature expressed using the Rankine scale is always higher than its value expressed using the Fahrenheit temperature scale. (Hint: see Sec. 1.7.3 and Eq. 1.18) A: True Since 459.67 needs to be subtracted from the temperature in Rankine, Fahrenheit is a lower value. II.

0.7 ton (=2000 lbf) to N Answer: 0.7 tons = 2000lbf 1 lbf = 4.44822 N 2000lbf * 4.44822 N / 1 lbf = 8896.44 N III.
At a certain elevation, the pilot of a balloon has a mass of 120 lb and a weight of 119 lbf. What is the local acceleration of gravity, in ft/s
2
, at that elevation? If the balloon drifts to another elevation where g = 32.05 ft/s
2
, what is her weight, in lbf, and mass, in lb? (Hint: Refer to Section 1.4) For this problem you must use engineering problem-
solving techniques: KNOWN, FIND, …
Answer KNOWN
: We know the mass of the pilot M= 120lb and the pound-force is 119lbf We know the second elevation where g= 32.05 ft/s^2 FIND

=W/m We also need to find the the weight of the girl at g= 32.05ft/s^2 in lbf and in lbs SCHEMATIC AND GIVEN DATA
: Given: M= 120lb and the pound-force is 119lbf We know the second elevation where g= 32.05 ft/s^2 ENGINEERING MODEL
: The dashed lines show a control volume system because the balloon changes with elevation which means it interacts with its surroundings. ANALYSIS

Thermodynamics - AME 230 Fall 2023 7 The dashed lines represent a control volume system because the atmospheric pressure alters values when calculating answers so this means the system is interacting with its surroundings. ENGINEERING MODEL
: The dashed lines are for a control volume system because it is affected by its surroundings (atmospheric pressure) If the two tubes were sealed shut then the system would be a closed system because atmospheric pressure would not affect it. ANALYSIS

L)= 62.344 ft^3/lb * 32.0 ft/s^2* (h +18/12) = 1995.008h + 2992.512 lb/ft*s^2 𝛥𝑃

Pa = 2992.512 lb/ft * s^2 * 1/32 ft/s^2 = 93.516 lb/ft^2 93.516 lb/ft^2 * 1 ft^2/ (12in)^2 = 0.649 lb/in^2 Since the difference, 𝛥𝑃 is positive, the pressure is increasing from point a to point b. The pressure is increasing in the direction of flow. COMMENT
