Determine the mass and the weight of the air conditioned in a room
whose dimensions are 3m x 5m x 7m. Assume the density of air is
1.16kg/m3
Solution: The interior dimension of a room are given. The mass and weight of
the air in the room are to be determined.
Assumption: The density of air is constant throughout the room
Properties: The density of air is gigen to be ρ =1.16kg/m3
Analysis: The mass of the air in the room is
2. The acceleration of high-speed aircraft is sometimes expressed in g’s (in
multiples of the standard acceleration of gravity). Determine the net
force, in N, that a 90kg man would experience in an aircraft whose
acceleration is 6g’s.
Solution: The acceleration of an aircraft is given in g’s. The net upward force
acting on a man in the aircraft is to be determined.
Analysis: From newton’s second law, the applied force is
3. A 10kg rock is thrown upward with a force of 280N at a location where
the local gravitational acceleration is 9.79m/s2. Determine the
acceleration of the rock, in m/s2.
Solution: A rock is thrown upward with a specified force
Analysis: The weight of the rock is
4. A 6kg plastic tank that has a volume of 0.18m3 is filled with liquid water.
Assuming the density of water is 1000kg/m3, determine the weight of
the combined system.
Solution: A plastic tank is filled with water. The weight of the combined system
is to be determined.
Assumption: The density of water is constant throughout
Properties: The density of water is given to be ρ = 1000kg/m3
Analysis: The mass of the water in the tank and the total mass are
5. A man goes to a traditional market to buy a steak for dinner. He finds a
12oz steak (1lbm = 16 oz) for RM3.15. He then goes to the adjacent
international market and finds a 320g steak of identical quality for
RM3.30. Which steak is the better buy?
Solution: A man considering buying a 12 oz – RM3.15 and 320g – RM3.30
The steak that is a better buy is to be determined
Assumption: The steak are identical quality
Analysis: To make a comparison possible, we need to express the cost of each
steak on a common basis. We choose 1kg as the basis for comparison. Using
proper conversion factor, the unit cost of each steak is determined to be
6. A 75L container is filled with 1kg of air at a temperature of 27oC. What is
the pressure in the container?

- Solution: Pressure in the container

- Assumption: Air behave as an ideal gas

- Properties: Gas constant for air = Ra

- Analysis: The pressure in the container is determined to be:


7. A fluid that occupies a volume of 24 L weighs 225 N at a location where
the gravitational acceleration is 9.80m/s2. Determine the mass of this
fluid and its density

- Solution: Mass and density are to be determined. Volume and weight are
given, V=24L & W=225N

- Analysis: Knowing the weight, the mass and the density are determined
to be:
