QUESTION 1

a) A storage vesselforgasoline (sg = 0.68) is a vettical cylinder 1000 cm in diameter. lf

it is filled to a depth of 775 cm, calculate the density, mass and weight of the
gasoline.

b) Figure 1 show a shaft is pulled through a cylindrical bearing. The oil that fi!leC the 0.5
mm gap between the shaft and bearing is oil hav;ng a kinematic viscosity of 5.3 x 10{
m2ls and a specifrc weight of 9.1kN/m3. Determine the force F required to pull the
shaft at a velocity of 4.1 mls.
