Unit Conversion

Standard units are also called SI units. SI units are used for measuring a physical quantity satisfying certain conditions. There are two types of units: fundamental units and derived units. Fundamental units are physical quantities that are independent, that is, they do not depend on other quantities like mass, length, or time. There are plenty of quantities in our lives which need to be measured and compared. Measuring is the comparison of a particular physical quantity with its reference value. A unit is a measure of a fixed physical quantity. A physical quantity is the product of a unit and the numerical value we need to compare with.

The fuel gage for a car’s gasoline tank reads proportional to the bottom gage pressure. If the tank is 30 cm deep and accidentally contains 2 cm of water (plus gasoline), how many centimeters of air remain at the top when the gage erroneously reads “full”?
The reading of an automobile fuel gage is proportional to the gage pressure at the bottom of the tank. If the tank is 30 cm. deep, and is contaminated with 3.05 cm. of water at the bottom, how many meters of air remains at the top when the gage indicates "FULL"? Use Unit weight of: gasoline = 6.24 kN/m3; air = 12.6 N/m3. The tank is closed. ANSWER : 0.017
Next time you are putting gasoline in your car, determine the volumetric flow rate of the gasoline at the pumping station. Record the time that it takes to pump a known volume of gasoline into your car’s gas tank. The flow meter at the pump will give you the volume in gallons, so all you have to do is to measure the time. Investigate the size of the storage tanks in your neighborhood gas station. Estimate how often the storage tank needs to be refilled. State your assumptions.
the reading of an automobile fuel gage is proportional to the gage pressure at the bottom of the tank. if the tank is 30 cm. deep, and is contaminated with 3.42 cm. of water at the bottom, how many meters of air remains at the top when the gage indicates "FULL"? use weight of: gasoline = 6.62 kN/m^3; air = 14.67 N/m^3. the tank is closed.

1. Due to government water privatization, a bustling metropolitan city is now home to substantial and continuous water supply. While before the supply was only 200 liters/sec on old pipes, it is now 350 liters/sec running on a new steel pipe network shown on the figure below. . Given: f = 0.015 (for all pipes except the outlet pipe) f = 0.014 (for outlet pipe) Compute the flow of water in the upper branch. Compute the flow of water in the lower branch. Compute the energy loss per unit mass between the inlet and the outlet.
