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?
An engineer designing a light aircraft is trying to make an estimate of the diameter of the propeller needed. The design speed of the aircraft is 69m/s into still air and at this speed experience allows the engineer to assume a propeller efficiency of 88%. Other analysis shows that a thrust of 10906N must be supplied by the propeller to maintain this speed. Assuming a constant air density of 1.19 kg/m3 , determine the diameter of the ideal propeller in m to 1 decimal place.
A column of mercury (density of mercury 13,534 g / cm) has a height of 10 ft. Considering a gravitational acceleration value of g = 9.80665 m / s and using the equation To calculate the hydrostatic pressure P = ρgh, determine the pressure exerted by the column of mercury in MPa. (Round the result to 2 decimal places.)
