A container is filled with oil and water. The weight of the same container when half filled with
a liquid (s=1.95) alone is 90kN. If the volume of water is twice that the volume of oil, find the
specific gravity of the oil so that the weight of the container when fully filled with oil-water
combination is the same when half filled with the aforementioned liguid.
Please explain how to get mass (in lb/m) if given weight is 960 lb. Please show the proper conversion of units when dividing 960 lb by 32 ft/s2.
