Consider a tank that initially contains 100 gallons of a solution in which 50 pounds of salt are dissolved. Suppose that 3 gallons of brine, each gallon containing 2 pounds of salt, run into the tank each minute, and that the mixture, kept uniform by stirring, runs out at the rate of 2 gallons per minute.

Consider a rectangular plate of width B = 1m (measured in the direction normal to the plane of this sheet) and negligible thickness, which separates two fluids of densities ρ and ρw. A mass of density ρs is supported by an inextensible rope that passes through a pulley connected to one end of the plate. Consider that ρ = 1.59ρw and ρs = 2.40ρw, where ρw = 1000 kg/m3. Determine the volume that this mass must have for the system to remain in equilibrium, as shown in the figure.
1.) convert a pressure head of 15 m of water to meters of oil (sp. gr. =0.75).2.) Convert a pressure head of 600 mm of mercury to meters of oil (sp. gr.= 0.75)
Tank A initially holds 100 gallons of brine that contains 150 pounds af salt, and tank B holds 100 gallons of water. Two gallons of water enters tank A each minute, and the mixture , assumed uniform, flows from tank A into tank B at the same rate. If the resulting mixture , also kept uniform , runs out of B at the rate of 2 gallons per minute, how much salt is in the tank B at the end of 1 hour ?
Pitot PipeBy connecting a mercury pressure gauge to a vertical pipeline through which water is transmitted, speed measurement is performed with a pitot tube. Since the deviation from the pressure gauge column is 15 cm, calculate the speed of the water in the pipe. (Pmercury=13560 kg/m3, Pwater=1000 kg/m3) (Answer is V2=6.08 m/s)
