A gas under a pressure of 1 MPa absolute has a specific weight of 99 N/m^3.
What is the value of R for the gas if T = 60°C?
1. A special-purpose piece of laboratory glassware, called a pyncnometer; is used to measureLiquid densities. It has a volume of 25 cc, and a mass of 17 .24 g when it is full of air. Whenfilled with a liquid of unknown density, its mass = 45.00 g. What is the density of this liquid?How large an error do we make if we ignore the mass of the air that was in it when we weighed itand found m = 17.24 g?
The sketch shows an oil manometer that is connected between two pipes which transport water. The density of water can be taken as 998kg/m3, the specific gravity of glycerol is 0.76 and atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. The respective dimensions (as shown on the sketch) are given below:
h1 = 0.17 m h2 = 350 mm h3 =15cm.
If the pressure gauge gives a reading of 19 kPa, what is the absolute pressure in pipe B?
