Document Summary

Fluid properties: density of mercury is 13600 kg/m3, find its relative density or specific gravity. : s = 13. 6: specific weight of oil is 8. 34 kn/m3, find its relative density or specific gravity. : s = 0. 85: calculate the mass and specific weight of 2 of water. : m = 2 kg & v = 9810 n/m3: a reservoir of glycerin has a mass of 1200 kg and a volume of 0. 952 m3. Calculate the following: weight of the glycerin, mass density of the glycerin, specific (or unit) weight of the glycerin; and, specific gravity (relative density) of the glycerin. Answers: 11. 772 kn, 1260. 504 kg/m3, 12. 366 kn/m3, 1. 261: the density of oil at 20 oc is 850 kg/m3. Find its relative density and kinematic viscosity if the dynamic viscosity is 5 x 10-3 kg/ms. Answer: 0. 85 & 5. 882 x 10-6 kg/ms: the following refer to a liquid under shearing action at a constant temperature.
