    Pritz Jay Magno Torres
    1. The document contains 12 physics problems involving pressure, fluid statics, and levers. 2. The problems calculate things like absolute pressure at different points, height of liquid surfaces, pressure exerted by liquids on surfaces, and forces exerted by levers transferring pressure. 3. The problems are solved using equations for absolute pressure, pressure due to height of liquids, relationships between pressure and force on surfaces, and lever mechanics.

    Summation of pressure

    Pabs = Pgage + Patm


    350 = 9.81h + 9.81(13.6(0.8) + 180
    h = 6.45 m

    PB = 9.81(6.45 + 0.8) + 180


    PB = 251.12 kPa

    4. For the vessel containing glycerin under pressure as shown, find the pressure
    at the bottom of the tank. Specific gravity of glycerin is 1.26.
    p = 50 + hγ
    p = 50 + 9.81(1.26)(2) = 74.72 kPa

    5. If the atmospheric pressure is 0.9 bar abs and a gage attached to a tank reads
    390 mm of Hg vacuum, what is the absolute pressure within the tank?

    p = γh
    p = 0.9(100) = 90 kPa
    p = 13.6(9.81)(390/1000) = 52.03 kPa vacuum
    pabs = 90 – 52.03 = 37.97 kPa

    6. The closed tank shown is at 20˚C. If the pressure at A is 98 kPa abs, what is
    the absolute pressure at point B? What percent error results from neglecting
    the specific weight of the air? γAIR = 0.0118 kPa

    pA + γAIRhAC -γwhDC – γAIRhDB = pB


    98 + (0.0118)(5) – (9.81)(5-3) – (0.0118)(3) = pB
    pB = 78.404 kPa
    Neglecting Air
    pB = 98 – (9.81)(5-3) = 78.38 kPa
    error = (78.404-78.38)/78.404 = 0.000306 or 0.0306%
    7. The tube shown is filled with oil. Determine the pressure heads at A and B in
    meters of water.

    γwhw – γoilhoil = 0
    hA = (2.2 + 0.6)(0.85) = 2.38 m of water
    hB = 0.6(0.85) = 0.51 m of water

    8. For the open tank, with piezometer attached on the side, containing two
    different liquids, as shown, find the (a) elevation of the liquid surface in
    piezometer A, (b) elevation of the liquid surface in piezometer B and (c) total
    pressure at the bottom of the tank.
    (a) The height of liquid at piezometer A is the same elevation on the tank (elev
    2m)
    (b) p = γh = 0.72(9.81)(2-0.3) = 12.007 kPa
    h = p/γ = 12.007/(2.36)(9.81) = 0.518m
    hB = 0.3 + 0.518 = 0.818 m
    (c) pBOTTOM = 12.007 + 2.36(9.81)(0.3) = 18.95 kPa

    9. Determine the weight W that can be equilibrated by the force acting on the
    piston on the figure.

    p1 = p2
    F1/A1 = F2/A2
    1.25/[π(35)2/4] = W/[π(250)2/4]
    W = 63.8 kN

    10. A cylindrical tank contains water at height of 55 mm, as shown. Inside a


    smaller open cylindrical tank containing cleaning fluid (sg = 0.8) at height
    h. If pB = 13.4 kPa gage and pC = 13.42 kPa gage, what are the gage
    pressure pA and height h of the cleaning fluid? Assume that the cleaning
    fluid is prevented from moving to the top of the tank.

    pA + 9.81(o.o55) = 13.42
    pA = 12.88 kPa
    12.88 + 9.81(0.055 -h) + 0.8(9.81)h = 13.4
    h = 0.009964 m = 9.964 mm

    11. For the set up shown, calculate the absolute pressure at a. Assume standard
    atmospheric pressure, 101.3 kPa.

    101.3 + 9.81(0.6 – 0.2) – 13.6(9.81)(0.14) + [0.83(9.81)](0.14 + 0.09) = pA


    pA = 88.42 kPa
    12. A force of 460 N is exerted on lever AB as shown in the figure. End B is
    connected to piston which fits into a cylinder having a diameter of 60 mm.
    What force FD acts on larger piston, if the volume between C and D is filled
    with water?

    Let FC = force exerted on smaller piston at C;


    FC = 460(220/120) = 843 N
    FC / AC = FD / AD
    843/[π(60/1000)2/4] = FD / [π(260/1000)2/4]
    FD = 15,830 N = 15.83 kN
