TAKE HOME QUIZ

1. A mass of liquid weights 400 N when exposed to standard earths gravity g =

9.81m/s2
(a) What is its mass?

(b) What will be its weight in a planet with acceleration due to gravity is
(i) 3.5m/s2 (ii)18.0 m/s2

2. The relative density of fluid is 1.26 and its dynamic viscosity is 150 Pa.s. Calculate its
(a) Specific weight.
(b) Kinematic viscosity.

3. Determine the weight of a 3 kg mass on a planet where the acceleration due to

gravity is 10.00m/s2?

4. If the surface tension at air-water interface is 0.073 N/m, what is the pressure
difference between inside and outside of bubble with 0.01 mm diameter?

5. Given the value of bulk modulus of elasticity is 2.2 x 10 9 Pa, please determine the
pressure increase required to reduce the volume of water by 1.5%.
