Chapter 5: Pressure

1.

A tank is filled with pure water. If the pressure at the bottom of the tank is 17.63 psig, what is the depth of the water?

2.

What is the pressure on an object at the bottom of a fresh water lake if the lake is 123 m deep?

3.

An instrument reads 1038 psf. If the instrument was calibrated in kilopascals, what would it read?

4.

What will be the reading of a mercury barometer in centimeters if the atmospheric pressure is 14.75 psi?

5.

Atank 2.2 ft 3.1 ft 1.79 ft weighs 1003 lb when filled with a liquid. What is the specific gravity of the liquid if the empty tank weighs 173 lb?

6.

An open tank 3.2 m wide by 4.7 m long is filled to a depth of 5.7 m with a liquid whose SG is 0.83. What is the absolute pressure on the bottom of the tank in kilopascals?

7.

Two pistons connected by a pipe are filled with oil. The larger piston has 3.2 ft diameter and has a force of 763 Ib applied to it. What is the diameter of the smaller piston if it can support a force of 27 lb?
