Problem 3.2 [Difficulty: 2]
Given: Pure water on a standard day
Find: Boiling temperature at (a) 1000 m and (b) 2000 m, and compare with sea level value.
Solution:
We can determine the atmospheric pressure at the given altitudes from table A.3, Appendix A
The data are
Elevation
(m)
p/p o p (kPa)
0 1.000 101.3
1000 0.887 89.9
2000 0.785 79.5
We can also consult steam tables for the variation of saturation temperature with pressure:
p (kPa) T sat (°C)
70 90.0
80 93.5
90 96.7
101.3 100.0
We can interpolate the data from the steam tables to correlate saturation temperature with altitude:
Elevation
(m)
p/p o p (kPa) T sat (°C)
0 1.000 101.3 100.0
1000 0.887 89.9 96.7
2000 0.785 79.5 93.3
The data are plotted here. They
show that the saturation temperature
drops approximately 3.4°C/1000 m.

From the steam tables, we have the following data for the boiling point (saturation temperature) of water
Tsat (
o
F) p (psia)
195 10.39
185 8.39
The sea level pressure, from Table A.3, is

Hence

0.6492 3500 11484
0.6085 4000 13124
0.5700 4500 14765
Then, any one of a number of Excel functions can be used to interpolate
(Here we use Excel 's Trendline analysis)
p/pSL Altitude (ft)
0.707 9303 Current altitude is approximately 9303 ft
0.571 14640
The change in altitude is then 5337 ft
Alternatively, we can interpolate for each altitude by using a linear regression between adjacent data points
p/pSL Altitude (m) Altitude (ft) p/pSL Altitude (m) Altitude (ft)
For 0.7372 2500 8203 0.6085 4000 13124
0.6920 3000 9843 0.5700 4500 14765
Then 0.7070 2834 9299 0.5730 4461 14637
The change in altitude is then 5338 ft

Problem 3.9 [Difficulty: 2]
Given: Data on tire at 3500 m and at sea level
Find: Absolute pressure at 3500 m; pressure at sea level
Solution:
At an elevation of 3500 m, from Table A.3:
pSL 101 kPa⋅= patm 0.6492 pSL⋅= patm 65.6 kPa⋅=
and we have pg 0.25 MPa⋅= pg 250 kPa⋅= p pg patm+= p 316 kPa⋅=
At sea level patm 101 kPa⋅=
Meanwhile, the tire has warmed up, from the ambient temperature at 3500 m, to 25oC.
At an elevation of 3500 m, from Table A.3 Tcold 265.4 K⋅= and Thot 25 273+( ) K⋅= Thot 298K=
Hence, assuming ideal gas behavior, pV = mRT, and that the tire is approximately a rigid container, the absolute pressure of the

Given: Location: ℎ = 2.4 𝑚 below the liquid surface. Liquid: Crude oil.
Find: The absolute pressure 𝑝 𝑎 and gage pressure 𝑝 𝑔 for both open and closed tank .

Solution: Use the hydrostatic relation to find the pressures in the fluid
Governing equation: Hydrostatic pressure in a liquid, with z measured upward:
𝑑𝑑
𝑑𝑑
= −𝜌 𝑔 = −𝛾
Integrating with respect to z for an incompressible fluid, we have the relation for the pressure difference
over a difference in elevation (h):
∆𝑝 = 𝜌𝜌ℎ
Using the barometer reading with 760 mm as atmospheric pressure, the pressure inside the submarine is:
𝑝 =
840 𝑚𝑚
760 𝑚𝑚
× 101.3 × 103
𝑃𝑃 = 111.6 × 103
𝑃𝑃
However, the actual atmosphere pressure is:
𝑝 𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 =
740 𝑚𝑚
760 𝑚𝑚
× 101.3 × 103
𝑃𝑃 = 98.3 × 103
𝑃𝑃
For the manometer, using the hydrostatic relation, we have for the pressure, where y is the depth of the
submarine:
𝑝 = 𝑝 𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 + 𝛾𝛾 + 𝛾 × 200 𝑚𝑚 − 𝛾 𝐻𝐻 × 400 𝑚𝑚
𝑦 =
𝑝 + 𝛾 𝐻𝐻 × 400 𝑚𝑚 − 𝛾 × 200 𝑚𝑚 − 𝑝 𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎
𝛾
The specific weight for mercury is:
𝛾 𝐻𝐻 = 133.1
𝑘𝑘
𝑚3
So we have for the depth y:
𝑦 =
111.6 × 103
𝑃𝑃 + 133.1 × 1000

𝑚3 × 0.4 𝑚 − 1000

Problem 3.27
(Difficulty: 1)
3.27 The manometer reading is 6 in. when the tank is empty (water surface at A). Calculate the
manometer reading when the cone is filled with water.
Find: The manometer reading when the tank is filled with water.
Assumption: Fluids are static and incompressible
Solution: Use the hydrostatic relations for pressure
When the tank is empty, we have the equation as:
ℎ 𝑀𝑀 ∙ 𝑆𝑆 𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 ∙ 𝛾 𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤 = 𝛾 𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤ℎ
𝑆𝑆 𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 = 13.57
ℎ = ℎ 𝑀𝑀 ∙ 𝑆𝑆 𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 = 150 𝑚𝑚 × 13.57 = 2.04 𝑚
When the tank is filled with water, we assume the mercury interface moves by 𝑥:
𝛾 𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤(ℎ 𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 + ℎ + 𝑥) = 𝛾 𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤 ∙ 𝑆𝑆 𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚(ℎ 𝑀𝑀 + 2𝑥)
(3 𝑚 + 2.04 𝑚 + 𝑥) = 13.57(0.15𝑚 + 2𝑥)
Thus
𝑥 = 0.115 𝑚
The new manometer reading is:
ℎ 𝑀𝑀
′
= ℎ 𝑀𝑀 + 2𝑥 = 0.15 𝑚 + 2 × 0.115 𝑚 = 0.38 𝑚

Problem 3.37
(Difficulty: 2)
3.37 If atmospheric pressure at the ground is 101.3 𝑘𝑘𝑘 and temperature is 15 ℃, calculate the
pressure 7.62 𝑘𝑘 above the ground, assuming (a) no density variation, (b) isothermal variation of
density with pressure, and (c) adiabatic variation of density with pressure.
Assumption: Atmospheric air is stationary and behaves as an ideal gas.
Solution: Use the hydrostatic relation to find the pressures in the fluid
Governing equation: Hydrostatic pressure in a liquid, with z measured upward:
𝑑𝑑
𝑑𝑑
= −𝜌 𝑔 = −𝛾
(a) For this case with no density variation, we integrate with respect to z from the ground level pressure
p0 to the pressure at any height h. The pressure is
𝑝 = 𝑝0 − 𝛾ℎ
From Table A.10, the density of air at sea level is
𝜌 = 1.23
𝑘𝑘

Or the specific weight is
𝛾 = 𝜌𝜌 = 1.23
𝑘𝑘
𝑚3
× 9.81

Thus the pressure at 7.62 km is
𝑝 = 101.3 𝑘𝑘𝑘 − 12.07
𝑁
𝑚3
× 7.62 × 1000 𝑚 = 9.63 𝑘𝑘𝑘
(b) For isothermal condition we have for an ideal gas:
𝑝
𝜌

𝜌0
= 𝑅𝑅 = 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐
Therefore, since ρ = γ g and g is a constant
𝑝

𝛾0
=

𝑝 = 101.3𝑘𝑘𝑘 × 0.4045 = 41.0 𝑘𝑘𝑘
(c) For a reversible and adiabatic variation of density we have:
𝑝𝑣 𝑘
=
𝑝
𝜌 𝑘
= 𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐𝑐
Where k is the specific heat ratio
𝑘 = 1.4
Or, since gravity g is constant, we can write in terms of the specific weight

Problem 3.38
(Difficulty: 2)
3.38 If the temperature in the atmosphere is assumed to vary linearly with altitude so T = T0 - αz where
T0 is the sea level temperature and α = - dT / dz is the temperature lapse rate, find p(z) when air is taken

Assumption: Atmospheric air is stationary and behaves as an ideal gas.
Solution: Use the hydrostatic relation to find the pressures in the fluid
Governing equation: Hydrostatic pressure in a liquid, with z measured upward:

Based on these expressions we see that the force on the gate varies linearly with the increase in surface pressure, and that the line of
action of the resultant is always below the centroid of the gate. As the pressure increases, however, the line of action moves closer to

Problem 3.48 [Difficulty: 5]
Discussion: The design requirements are specified except that a typical floor height is about 12 ft, making the total required lift
about 36 ft. A spreadsheet was used to calculate the system properties for various pressures. Results are presented on the next page,
followed by a sample calculation. Total cost dropped quickly as system pressure was increased. A shallow minimum was reached in
the 100-110 psig range. The lowest-cost solution was obtained at a system pressure of about 100 psig. At this pressure, the reservoir
of 140 gal required a 3.30 ft diameter pressure sphere with a 0.250 in wall thickness. The welding cost was $155 and the material cost
$433, for a total cost of $588. Accumulator wall thickness was constrained at 0.250 in for pressures below 100 psi; it increased for
higher pressures (this caused the discontinuity in slope of the curve at 100 psig). The mass of steel became constant above 110 psig.
No allowance was made for the extra volume needed to pressurize the accumulator. Fail-safe design is essential for an elevator to be
used by the public. The control circuitry should be redundant. Failures must be easy to spot. For this reason, hydraulic actuation is
good: leaks will be readily apparent. The final design must be reviewed, approved, and stamped by a professional engineer since the
design involves public safety. The terminology used in the solution is defined in the following table:

sloping at 60°. Calculate magnitude, direction and location of total force on the gate.
Find: The direction, magnitude of the total force 𝐹.

For the magnitude of the force we have:

A free body diagram of the gate is

The vertical force F2 is given by the pressure at the depth of the surface (4 ft)
𝐹2 = 𝑝 𝐴 𝐴 = 337
𝑙𝑙𝑙
𝑓𝑓2

The force F1 acts two-thirds of the distance down from the water surface and the force F2 acts at the

Taking the moments about the hinge:
−𝐹1 × 6 𝑓𝑓−𝐹2 × 2 𝑓𝑓 + 𝑃 × 4 𝑓𝑓 = 0
So we have for the force at the support:

Given: All the parameters are shown in the figure.

A free body diagram of the gate is
The gage pressure of the air in the tank is:

This pressure acts at the centroid of the area, which is the center of the gate. In addition, there is a force

the centroid is:

For the magnitude of the force we have:

Given: The gate wide: 𝑤 = 2.4 𝑚. Height of the gate: ℎ = 2.7 𝑚.
Find: The tension 𝐹𝑐 in the chain.

𝐹𝑅 = � 𝑦 𝑝 𝑑𝑑

Taking the momentum about the hinge:

The final results are that a triangular cross-section with α = 0.3 uses the least concrete; the next best is a right triangle with the
vertical in contact with the water; next is the right triangle with the hypotenuse in contact with the water; and the cross-section
requiring the most concrete is the rectangular cross-section.
Problem 3.70 [Difficulty: 2]
Given: Geometry of dam
Find: Vertical force on dam
Assumptions: (1) water is static and incompressible
(2) since we are asked for the force of the water, all pressures will be written as gage
Solution:
Basic equation:
dp
dh
ρ g⋅=
For incompressible fluid p ρ g⋅ h⋅= where p is gage pressure and h is measured downwards from the free surface
The force on each horizontal section (depth d and width w) is
F p A⋅= ρ g⋅ h⋅ d⋅ w⋅= (Note that d and w will change in terms of x and y for each section of the dam!)
Hence the total force is (allowing for the fact that some faces experience an upwards (negative) force)
FT p A⋅= Σρ g⋅ h⋅ d⋅ w⋅= ρ g⋅ d⋅ Σ⋅ h w⋅=

The negative sign indicates that this is a clockwise moment about the origin. Since the weight of the dam will also contribute a clockwise

Therefore, the water can not overturn the dam.
Problem 3.61
(Difficulty: 2)
3.61 The quarter cylinder 𝐴𝐴 is 10 𝑓𝑓 long. Calculate magnitude, direction, and location of the resultant
force of the water on 𝐴𝐴.
Given: All the parameters are shown in the figure.
Assumptions: Fluid is incompressible and static
Find: The resultant force.
Solution: Apply the hydrostatic relations for pressure as a function of depth and for the location of
forces on submerged objects.
∆𝑝 = 𝜌𝜌ℎ
A freebody diagram for the cylinder is:
The force balance in the horizontal direction yields thathorizontal force is due to the water pressure:
𝐹 𝐻 = 𝑃 𝐻
Where the depth is the distance to the centroid of the horizontal area (8 + 5/2 ft):

� × (5 𝑓𝑓 × 10 𝑓𝑡) = 32800 𝑙𝑙𝑙
𝑃 𝐻 = 32800 𝑙𝑙𝑙
The force in the vertical direction can be calculated as the weight of a volume of water that is 8 ft + 5 ft =
13 ft deep less the weight of water that would be in the quarter cylinder. This force is then:
𝑃𝑉 = 𝐹𝑉 − 𝑊 = 62.4

The total resultant force is the vector sum of the two forces:

= �(32800 𝑙𝑙𝑙)2 + (28308 𝑙𝑙𝑙)2 = 43300 𝑙𝑙𝑙
The angle with respect to the horizontal is:

�
𝑃𝑉
𝑃 𝐻
� = tan−1
�

So the force acts on the quarter cylinder surface point at an angle of 𝜃 = 40.9 ° with respect to the
horizontal.

The force in the vertical direction can be calculated as the weight of a volume of water that is 10 ft deep
less the weight of water that would be in the quarter cylinder. This force is then:
𝑃𝑉 = 𝐹𝑉 − 𝑊 = 𝛾ℎ 𝑐 𝐴 − 𝛾∀
𝑃𝑉 = 62.4

Problem 3.83 [Difficulty: 2]
Given: Canoe floating in a pond
Find: What happens when an anchor with too short of a line is thrown from canoe
Solution:
Governing equation:
WgVF dispwB == ρ
Before the anchor is thrown from the canoe the buoyant force on the canoe balances out the weight of the canoe and anchor:
11 canoewanchorcanoeB gVWWF ρ=+=
The anchor weight can be expressed as
aaanchor gVW ρ=
so the initial volume displaced by the canoe can be written as
a

After throwing the anchor out of the canoe there will be buoyant forces acting on the canoe and the anchor. Combined, these buoyant
forces balance the canoe weight and anchor weight:

Integrating the hydrostatic pressure equation: p ρ g⋅ h⋅=

Therefore h H R 1 cos θ( )−( )⋅−= and into the vertical force equation:

3.70 A cylindrical can 76 𝑚𝑚 in diameter and 152 𝑚𝑚 high, weighing 1.11 𝑁, contains water to a depth
of 76 𝑚𝑚. When this can is placed in water, how deep will it sink?
Find: The depth it will sink.

A free body diagram on the can is
We have the force balance equation in the vertical direction as:

𝑥 = 0.1009 𝑚 = 100.9 𝑚𝑚
So this can will sink to depth of 100.9 𝑚𝑚.

Find: Above what depth will the timber stand vertically.
Assumptions: Fluid is incompressible and static
Solution: Apply the hydrostatic relations:
Pressure as a function of depth
∆𝑝 = 𝜌𝜌ℎ
Buoyancy force:
𝐹𝑏 = 𝜌 𝑔 𝑉

If the timber is vertically, we have:

So we have:

Solving this equation we have:

(Difficulty: 2)
3.81 The opening in the bottom of the tank is square and slightly less than 2 𝑓𝑓 on each side. The
opening is to be plugged with a wooden cube 2 𝑓𝑓 on a side.
(a) What weight 𝑊 should be attached to the wooden cube to insure successful plugging of the hole?
The wood weighs 40
𝑙𝑙𝑙
𝑓𝑓3,
(b) What upward force must be exerted on the block to lift it and allow water to drain from the tank?
Find: The weight of the block and the force needed to lift it
Assumptions: Fluid is incompressible and static
Solution: Apply the hydrostatic relations:
Pressure as a function of depth
∆𝑝 = 𝜌𝜌ℎ
Buoyancy force:
𝐹𝑏 = 𝜌 𝑔 𝑉
(a) Because the wood bottom surface is in the atmosphere so the pressure on the bottom surface is
zero in this case and there is no buoyancy force. The force acting on the wood cube in the
vertical direction is:
𝐹𝑉 = 𝐹𝑝 + 𝐺
𝐹𝑉 = 𝛾ℎ1 𝐴 + 𝐺 = 62.4
𝑙𝑙𝑙
𝑓𝑓3
× 5 𝑓𝑓 × 2𝑓𝑓 × 2𝑓𝑓 + 40

𝑓𝑓3

= 1568 𝑙𝑙𝑙
The direction of 𝐹𝑉 is downward. So we do not need any weight 𝑊 attached to the wood cube.
(b) To lift the block, we need a force larger than 𝐹𝑉, so we have:
𝐹𝑢𝑢 ≥ 𝐹𝑉 = 1568 𝑙𝑙𝑙

Given: Steel balls resting in floating plastic shell in a bucket of water
Find: What happens to water level when balls are dropped in water
Solution: Basic equation FB ρ Vdisp⋅ g⋅= W= for a floating body weight W
When the balls are in the plastic shell, the shell and balls displace a volume of water equal to their own weight - a large volume
because the balls are dense. When the balls are removed from the shell and dropped in the water, the shell now displaces only a
small volume of water, and the balls sink, displacing only their own volume. Hence the difference in displaced water before and
after moving the balls is the difference between the volume of water that is equal to the weight of the balls, and the volume of the
balls themselves. The amount of water displaced is significantly reduced, so the water level in the bucket drops.
Volume displaced before moving balls: V1

Problem *3.113 [Difficulty: 4]
Open-Ended Problem Statement: A proposed ocean salvage scheme involves pumping air
into “bags” placed within and around a wrecked vessel on the sea bottom. Comment on the practicality of
this plan, supporting your conclusions with analyses.
Discussion: This plan has several problems that render it impractical. First, pressures at the sea bottom
are very high. For example, Titanic was found in about 12,000 ft of seawater. The corresponding pressure
is nearly 6,000 psi. Compressing air to this pressure is possible, but would require a multi-stage compressor
and very high power.
Second, it would be necessary to manage the buoyancy force after the bag and object are broken loose from
the sea bed and begin to rise toward the surface. Ambient pressure would decrease as the bag and artifact
rise toward the surface. The air would tend to expand as the pressure decreases, thereby tending to increase
the volume of the bag. The buoyancy force acting on the bag is directly proportional to the bag volume, so
it would increase as the assembly rises. The bag and artifact thus would tend to accelerate as they approach
the sea surface. The assembly could broach the water surface with the possibility of damaging the artifact
or the assembly.
If the bag were of constant volume, the pressure inside the bag would remain essentially constant at the
pressure of the sea floor, e.g., 6,000 psi for Titanic. As the ambient pressure decreases, the pressure
differential from inside the bag to the surroundings would increase. Eventually the difference would equal
sea floor pressure. This probably would cause the bag to rupture.
If the bag permitted some expansion, a control scheme would be needed to vent air from the bag during the
trip to the surface to maintain a constant buoyancy force just slightly larger than the weight of the artifact in
water. Then the trip to the surface could be completed at low speed without danger of broaching the surface
or damaging the artifact.

  • 55. Problem 3.48 [Difficulty: 5] Discussion: The design requirements are specified except that a typical floor height is about 12 ft, making the total required lift about 36 ft. A spreadsheet was used to calculate the system properties for various pressures. Results are presented on the next page, followed by a sample calculation. Total cost dropped quickly as system pressure was increased. A shallow minimum was reached in the 100-110 psig range. The lowest-cost solution was obtained at a system pressure of about 100 psig. At this pressure, the reservoir of 140 gal required a 3.30 ft diameter pressure sphere with a 0.250 in wall thickness. The welding cost was $155 and the material cost $433, for a total cost of $588. Accumulator wall thickness was constrained at 0.250 in for pressures below 100 psi; it increased for higher pressures (this caused the discontinuity in slope of the curve at 100 psig). The mass of steel became constant above 110 psig. No allowance was made for the extra volume needed to pressurize the accumulator. Fail-safe design is essential for an elevator to be used by the public. The control circuitry should be redundant. Failures must be easy to spot. For this reason, hydraulic actuation is good: leaks will be readily apparent. The final design must be reviewed, approved, and stamped by a professional engineer since the design involves public safety. The terminology used in the solution is defined in the following table: Symbol Definition Units p System pressure psig Ap Area of lift piston in2 Voil Volume of oil gal Ds Diameter of spherical accumulator ft t Wall thickness of accumulator in Aw Area of weld in2 Cw Cost of weld $ Ms Mass of steel accumulator lbm Cs Cost of steel $ Ct Total Cost $ A sample calculation and the results of the system simulation in Excel are presented below.

  • 130. Problem *3.112 [Difficulty: 2] Given: Steel balls resting in floating plastic shell in a bucket of water Find: What happens to water level when balls are dropped in water Solution: Basic equation FB ρ Vdisp⋅ g⋅= W= for a floating body weight W When the balls are in the plastic shell, the shell and balls displace a volume of water equal to their own weight - a large volume because the balls are dense. When the balls are removed from the shell and dropped in the water, the shell now displaces only a small volume of water, and the balls sink, displacing only their own volume. Hence the difference in displaced water before and after moving the balls is the difference between the volume of water that is equal to the weight of the balls, and the volume of the balls themselves. The amount of water displaced is significantly reduced, so the water level in the bucket drops. Volume displaced before moving balls: V1 Wplastic Wballs+ ρ g⋅ = Volume displaced after moving balls: V2 Wplastic ρ g⋅ Vballs+= Change in volume displaced ∆V V2 V1−= Vballs Wballs ρ g⋅ −= Vballs SGballs ρ⋅ g⋅ Vballs⋅ ρ g⋅ −= ∆V Vballs 1 SGballs−( )⋅= Hence initially a large volume is displaced; finally a small volume is displaced (∆V < 0 because SGballs > 1) Problem 3.88 3.88
  • 131. Problem *3.113 [Difficulty: 4] Open-Ended Problem Statement: A proposed ocean salvage scheme involves pumping air into “bags” placed within and around a wrecked vessel on the sea bottom. Comment on the practicality of this plan, supporting your conclusions with analyses. Discussion: This plan has several problems that render it impractical. First, pressures at the sea bottom are very high. For example, Titanic was found in about 12,000 ft of seawater. The corresponding pressure is nearly 6,000 psi. Compressing air to this pressure is possible, but would require a multi-stage compressor and very high power. Second, it would be necessary to manage the buoyancy force after the bag and object are broken loose from the sea bed and begin to rise toward the surface. Ambient pressure would decrease as the bag and artifact rise toward the surface. The air would tend to expand as the pressure decreases, thereby tending to increase the volume of the bag. The buoyancy force acting on the bag is directly proportional to the bag volume, so it would increase as the assembly rises. The bag and artifact thus would tend to accelerate as they approach the sea surface. The assembly could broach the water surface with the possibility of damaging the artifact or the assembly. If the bag were of constant volume, the pressure inside the bag would remain essentially constant at the pressure of the sea floor, e.g., 6,000 psi for Titanic. As the ambient pressure decreases, the pressure differential from inside the bag to the surroundings would increase. Eventually the difference would equal sea floor pressure. This probably would cause the bag to rupture. If the bag permitted some expansion, a control scheme would be needed to vent air from the bag during the trip to the surface to maintain a constant buoyancy force just slightly larger than the weight of the artifact in water. Then the trip to the surface could be completed at low speed without danger of broaching the surface or damaging the artifact.
