Answer to Question #266951 in Civil and Environmental Engineering for regalo

Question

Calculate the i) specific weight, ii) mass density, iii) specific gravity and iv) specific volume oil the oil having a volume 4 500 litres and a weight of 40 kN.

Answer 1

all the four parts are calculated below:

(i)

= weight of oil/ volume

=40x10^3 / 4.5

= 8.889x10^3 N/m^3

(ii)

P= specific weight /acceleration density

P=8.889x10^3 / 9.81

P=906.1 kg/m^3

(iii)

S=specific weight of oil/specific weight of water

S=8.889x10^3/ 1000x9.81

S=0.906

(iv)

v=1/P

v=1/906.1

=1.1036x10^-3 m^3/kg
