A closed tank contains 0.5 m thick layer of mercury (specific gravity = 13.6) at the bottom. A 2.0 m thick layer of water lies above the mercury layer. A 3.0 m thick layer of oil (specific gravity = 0.6) lies above the water layer. The space above the oil layer contains air under pressure. The gauge pressure at the bottom of the tank is 196.2 kN/ m². The density of water is 1000 kg/m³ and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s². The value of pressure in the air space is

If at 20°C, a droplet of water has pressure difference of 5 kPa, then at same temperature, a cylindrical jet of water having diameter twice as diameter of spherical droplet, will have pressure difference equal to КРа.
1. If the work done 10000 cal, and the initial pressure 100 atm, when the ideal gas | expand isothermally and reversibly from the initial l volume (V1) to the final volume (10 V1), R = 1.987 cal/mole.K. ~ (A) calculate V1. (B) If there are - 2 moles from ideal gas what is the temperature.
What flows through a 0.305m vertical pipe downwards at a rate of 1.70 x 10^(-4) m^3/s exiting into the atmosphere. the pipes diameter remains constant at 0.013m. The velocity at the exit of the pipe was measured to be 1.28 m/s. Determine the pressure at the top of the pipe.
Problem A gas weighs 16 N/m³ at 25°C and at an absolute pressure of 0.25 N/mm². Deter- mine the gas constant and density of the gas.
A viscous liquid (p = 1.2x10°kg/m³, µ = 0.0048 Pa.s) flows at a rate of 10ml/s through a horizontal, 4 mm diameter tube. The pressure drop along a 1 m length of the tube which is far from the tube entrance so that the flow is fully developed is _(kPa)
. The ratio of pressures between two points A and Blocated respectively at depths 0.5 m and 2 m below a constant level of water in a tank is:
