Concept explainers
The kilogram force is commonly used in Europe as a unit of force. (As in the U.S. customary system, where 1 lbf is the force exerted by a mass of 1 lbm in standard gravity, 1 kgf is the force exerted by a mass of 1 kg in standard gravity.) Moderate pressures, such as those for auto or truck tires, are conveniently expressed in units of kgf/cm2. Convert 32 psig to these units.

- A room measures 121⁄2 feet wide and 151⁄2 feet long. The walls are 8 feethigh. The volume of air in the room changes six times each hour. How manycubic feet of air enters the room each minute?arrow_forwardThe Louisiana Superdome has an interior volume of 125 million ft3, covered by a 440,000 ft² roof. On a particular day, the interior air pressure gave a manometer reading of 19 inches mercury (pHg = 13.6 g/cm³). Local atmospheric pressure is 102 kPa. 1. kg Calculate the mass of the air inside, assuming an average temperature of 20 °C. 2. kN Calculate the net force applied to the roof by the interior/exterior air (do not account for the weight of the roof). Assume the roof is flat.arrow_forward"Lake Mead, near the Hoover Dam, which is the largest man-made lake in the United States, contains 28,537, 000 acre-feet of water (an acre-foot is the amount of water required to cover 1 acre to a depth of 1 foot).
