Chapter 2, Problem 2.10P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To calculate the weight of the pond contents in lbf.

Concept introduction:

The amount of matter in any object is called mass. It is represented by m.

Mass is a dimensionless quantity and it is also defined as the extent to which a body resists the change in its speed or directions on applying the force. The S.I. unit of mass is kilogram but sometime it is measured in pound

The volume of the pond

V=lbh

l is length, b width, h height.

A waste treatment pond is 50 m long and 25 m wide, and has an average depth of 2 m. The density of the waste is 75.3 lbm/ft3 . Calculate the weight of the pond contents in lbf, using a single dimensional equation for your calculation.
Calculate the pressure at the base of a mercury column 400 mm high. The mercury density at room temperature is 13.5951 g / cm3.Express the result in column, atmosphere, psi, pascal, and bar units. Calculate the pressure exerted on the drum skin of a diver located at a depth of 20 feet below sea level. Assume that the seawater density is: 1 gr / cm3. Calculate the molar volume of Cu2Te. Express this volume in mol/liter and mol/cm 3 units. ( rm=7.270 g/cm3) Use the ideal gas law and the van der Waals equation to calculate the pressure of ammonia gas at a temperature. T = 300 K the molar volume is V = 24 liters / mol
"A cylindrical tank contains 2 liquids with differebt density. Assuming the container is full and is open to the atmosphere, determine the pressure (psia) on bottom of the tank given that the volume of the tank is 16.1 m3 and the height is twice the diameter. The specific gravity of the liquids is 0.73 and 1.37 havinga volumetricratio of 1:3, respectively. Show all necessary conversions and solutions."
