The specific weight of ater at ordinary pressure ant temperature is 62.4 lb/ft3 (9.81 kN/m3). The specific gravity of mercury (Hg) is 13.55. Compute the density of water and the spcific weight and density of mercury. 4. The specific weight of ethyl alcohol is 0.79. Calculate its specific weight in both lb/ft3 and kN/m3 and mass density in both slug/ft3 and kg/m3. 5. The weight ofa body is 100 lb. Determine a. Its weight in newtons, b. Its massin kilograms, and c. The rate of acceleration, in both ft/s2 and m/s2, if the net force of 50 lbf is applied to the body. 6. The volume of a rock is found to be 0.00015 m3. If the rocks specific gravity is 2.60, What is its weight? 7. A certain gasoline weigh 46.5 lb/ft3. What is its mass density, specific volume, and specific gravity?
