A hemispherical container, 26 inches in diameter, is filledwith a liquid at 20 ° C and weighed. The liquid weight isfound to be 1617 ounces. ( a ) What is the density of thefluid, in kg/m 3 ? ( b ) What fluid might this be? Assume standardgravity, g = 9.807 m/s 2 .
For most gases at standard or near standard conditions, the relationshipamong pressure, density, and temperature is given by the perfect gasequation of state: p = ρRT, where R is the specific gas constant. For airat near standard conditions, R = 287 J/(kg · K) in the International System of Units and R = 1716 ft · lb/(slug · ◦R) in the English Engineering System of Units. Using the above information, consider the following two cases:
a. At a given point on the wing of a Boeing 727, the pressure andtemperature of the air are 1.9 × 104 N/m2 and 203 K, respectively.Calculate the density at this point.b. At a point in the test section of a supersonic wind tunnel, the pressureand density of the air are 1058 lb/ft2 and 1.23 × 10−3 slug/ft3,respectively. Calculate the temperature at this point.
