Air at pressure 173.9 kPa flows through a pipe. The actual volume flow rate of air through the pipe is
measured to be 6.85 m3/s. The standard volume flow rate of this air flow is 2.71 m/s. Calculate the air
density in units of kg/m3. Hint: The ideal gas equation is useful for air.

The average air velocity through the swept area is V (in m/s). On the bases of the units of the quantities involved, show that the mass flow rate of air (in kg/s) through the swept area is proportional to air density, the wind velocity, and the square of the diameter of the swept areaarrow_forwardThe gravitational acceleration on Mars is 3.72 m/s2. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3. Starting from these assumptions, estimate the specific weight of water on Mars in lbf/ft3.

The conversion factor ensures that (under normal gravity), a 100 lbm load generates 100 lbf of gravitational forcearrow_forward
