Question No.8: Given the dimensions of room are 6 m x 6 m x 8 m Therefore, Volume of the room (V) = length x breadth x height =6x6x8 = 288m3 The air is enclosed in a room. Given the density of air ( air ) = 1.16 kg/m3 We know that the density of air ( air ) =
Mass of the air (mair ) Volume of the room (V )

Therefore, Mass of the air = mair ( air )(V ) (1.16)(288) 334.08kg Weight of the air = Wair mair g (334.08)(9.81) 3277.3248 N

Question No.(42): Given human comfortable zone with limits from 650F to 750F

(i)

Conversion of limits from 0F to 0C:

T ( 0 F ) 32 1.8

Conversion formula: T ( 0 F ) 1.8T ( 0C ) 32 T ( 0C ) Lower Limit = 650F = Upper Limit = 750F =

65 32 18.3330 C 1.8 75 32 23.8890 C 1.8

(ii)

Conversion of temperature range ( T ) to K, 0C and R:

From the given range, T ( 0 F ) 10 0 F

T ( 0 F ) 10 T ( F ) 1.8T ( C ) 32 T ( F ) 1.8T ( C ) T ( C ) 5.5560 C 1.8 1.8
0 0 0 0 0

T ( K ) T ( 0C ) 273.15 T ( K ) T ( 0C ) 5.556 K T ( R) T ( 0 F ) 459.67 T ( R) T ( 0 F ) 10 R

As it can be seen from the above calculations, the temperature ranges for 0F and R are equal and the temperature ranges for 0C and K are equal.

Question No. (53): The Multi-fluid manometer is shown below.

Assume the pressure at point 1 is P1 and point 2 is exposed to atmosphere. Hence the pressure at point 2 is Patm. Given, Density of Water ( w ) = 1000kg/m3

Density of Oil ( oil ) = 850kg/m3 Density of Mercury ( Hg ) = 13600kg/m3 Difference in level of water (h1) = 0.2m Difference in level of Oil (h2) = 0.3m Difference in level of Mercury (h3) = 0.46m Now, Pressure at A = P1 Pressure at B = Pressure at A + Water Column weight per unit area = P 1 w gh1 downwards) = Pressure at C Pressure at D = Pressure at C + Oil Column weight per unit area = (P 1 w gh 1 ) oil gh2 (Since the direction of Pressure force and Weight are downwards) = Pressure at E Pressure at E = Pressure at D-Mercury Column weight per unit area = [( P 1 w gh1 ) oil gh2 ] Hg gh3 Upwards and direction of Weight is downwards) = Pressure at F which is exposed to atmosphere = Patm Therefore,
[( P 1 w gh1 ) oil gh2 ] Hg gh3 P atm P 1P atm Hg gh3 w gh1 oil gh2 Pgage Hg gh3 w gh1 oil gh2 g ( Hg h3 w h1 oil h2 )

(since the direction of Pressure force and Weight are
