Determine the density of a sample of natural gas of specific gravity 0.65 at a standard temperature and pressure (60and 14.7 psi)? Note that the density of air of 60 and 14.7 psi is 0.0764 lb/ft3.
A 45 grams (0.045 kg) golf ball of diameter equal to 43 mm fell into a 2m deep lake. Neglect inertia at the moment of impact. Assume viscosity of 1.12x10-3 Ns/m2 , water density of 1,000 kg/m3 and Cd=0.5. Sphere volume equals 4π r³ /3.
1. How long will it take from the moment it hits the surface until it gets to the bottom?
2. If one estimates the Cd with Cd=24/Re formula, the settling velocity would be unrealistically large. Why?
A liquid has a mass of 36 grams and the volume of the water (reference material) is 3 mL. Find the specific gravity of the object? Also, specify if the object will sink or float in the water? The density of the water is 1 g/mL
