3. A certain gasoline weighs 46.5 lb/ft3. What are its mass density, specific volume and specific gravity?

4. Determine the height of the free surface if 0.8 ft3 of oil is poured into a conical tank 20-in high with a
base radius of 10 in. How much additional oil is required to fill the tank? Determine the density of the
oil if the cone holds 30.5 kg before the addition of oil.

5. Calculate the density of water vapor at 350 kPa abs and 20 C.

6. A volume of 2 cubic meter of water is subjected to a pressure increase of 10 MPa.
a. Compute the change in its volume if the bulk modulus is 2000 MPa.
b. Compute the percentage of volume decreased.

water is at 20 C. After correction for surface tension, what is the true height in the tube if the
reading is 17 cm? Assume surface tension for water as 0.0712 N/m.
