a. A 3-kg plastic tank that has a volume of 0.2 m^3 is lled with liquid water. Assuming the density of water is 1000 kg=m^3, determine the weight of the combined system.
b. Is the weight of a system an extensive or intensive property?
c. When analyzing the acceleration of gases as they ow through a nozzle, what would you choose as your system? What type of system is this?
d. Determine the pressure exerted on the surface of a submarine cruising 175 ft below the free surface of the sea. Assume that the atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psia and the speci c gravity of seawater is 1.03. (Consider density of water at 32°F to be 62.4 lbm=ft^3)

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The weight of the combined system is the sum of the weight of the water and the weight of the tank

[tex]m_{water}=V_{tank}.\rho_{wtaer}\\\\m_{water}=0.2m^3*1000kg/m^3\\\\m_{water}=200 \ kg\\\\m_{total} = m_{water}+m_{tank}\\\\But\ m_{tank}=3kg,therefore:\\\\m_{total} =200kg+3kg\\\\m_{total} =203\ kg\\\\weight_{total}=m_{total}g\\\\weight_{total}=203kg*9.81m/s^2\\\\weight_{total}=1991.43\ N[/tex]

b) Since the weight of a system can be divided into smaller portions, hence weight is an extensive property.

c) When analyzing the acceleration of gases as they flow through a nozzle, the geometry of the nozzle which is an open system can be chosen as our system.

d) Given that:

[tex]\rho_{water}=1000kg/m^3\\\\1kg/m^3=0.062428lb/ft^3\\\\1000kg/m^3=1000kg/m^3*\frac{0.062428lb/ft^3}{kg/m^3}=62.43lb/ft^3\\ \\\rho=SG*\rho_{water}=1.03*62.43=64.272lb/ft^3\\\\P=P_{atm}+\rho g H\\\\P=14.7\ psia+64.272\ lb/ft^3*32.2\ ft/s^2*175\ ft*\frac{1\ ft^2}{12^2\ in^2}*\frac{1\ lbf}{32.2\ lbm.ft/s^2} \\\\P=92.8\ psia[/tex]
