A scuba tank is dropped overboard and sinks to the ocean floor 20 ft below (T = 62 F). The composite metal (SG = 4.5) tank has a mass of 31.7 lbm when empty and has an internal volume of 0.355 ft3. The tank is currently filled with air to about 3000 psig. To retrieve the tank, you plan to dive down, open the valve, and let out air until the tank begins to float upward. Then, I realized that my plan to float the tank by letting out air wouldn't work. My second thought is to swim down, attach an empty plastic bag to the air valve, and release air from the tank into it. Will this work? If so what will be the volume of air in the bag when the tank just lifts off the ocean floor (ft3) and what will be the mass of air in the bag?

Hello. Our instructor solved this question and subtracted the product of water's height and specific weight from the P1 pressure, as well as oil's. He didn't factor air pressure into the equation. What is the reason why we do not use open air pressure to solve the problem?
SUBJECT IS HYDRAULICS SHOW DETAILED AND COMPLETE SOLUTION USED 3 DECIMALS FOR THE FINAL ANSWER In a piston-and-cylinder apparatus the initial volume of air is 85 L at a pressure of 115 kPa and temperature of 26 °C. If the pressure is doubled while the volume is decreased to 55 L, compute the final temperature and density of the air.
You are about to ride a roller-coaster at Disney. The ride is a single-person ride with a drop of 25.0 meters and a plunger/piston system that makes the ride stop. There is a 250 kg water cylinder attached to the plunger/piston. The cart weighs about 75.0 kg and begins at the top of the circuit at a standstill. To get the total mass of the cart during the ride, you must add your weight (55KG) to the cart's overall weight. According to analysis, friction in the wheels and axles creates 2750 J of combined thermal and sound energy when the cart moves along the track. The bottom of the device's plunger/piston is designed to stop the cart at a max acceleration of 5.00 g's (49.0 m/s2). Question: Question #5: The plunger/piston compresses the water inside the cylinder, which is thenturned into thermal energy within the water. Determine the temperature change of the waterin the cylinder as it pulls the cart to a stop if the specific heat capacity of water is 4184J/kg°C (assuming 100 percent…
The Super Soaker XP30 is a marvel of hydraulic dispersion weaponry. By pumping on the handle, you charge the chamber to high pressure. The pressure is maintained until you pull the trigger at which point the water (? = 1000 kg/m3) is released at high velocity.You have charged your pressure chamber to an absolute pressure of P1 = 697500 Pascals, much higher than today's outside air pressure of 101300 Pascals. The pressure chamber is location at a height of y1 = 0.103 meters above the exit point. The exit point has a small opening with radius r = 0.0033 meters.Determine all the following:The velocity at which the water exits the Super Soaker: v2 = m/sThe mass flow rate through the exit: kg/secThe volume flow rate through the exit: m3/secNOTE: You may treat the water chamber as a "tank" and approximate the water velocity there to be zero.

1. Consider a conic reservoir of unit depth that is initially filled with water at the height of h = 200 mm. A rigid cuboid block, with dimensions of 10 cm x 5 cm x 3 cm, is then dropped into the water. When the equilibrium state is reached, the block floats on the water's surface, as shown in the figure. If the specific gravity of the block is 0.5, determine the change in the free surface position of the water, i.e., Ah, in mm. %3D Hint: You can calculate the volume of liquid inside the conic reservoir with a unit depth in terms of the liquid height as V = th³/3.

. A 2 m tall barrel is closed on top except for a thin pipe extending 8 m up from the top. When the barrel is filled with water up to the base of the pipe (2 m deep), the water pressure on the bottom of the barrel is 20 KPa. What is the pressure on the bottom when water is added to fill the pipe to its top?
A pressure of 150 KPa is equivalent to how many meters of water? Of mercury (SHg = 13.6)?
A glass tube 5 ft long and 1 inch in diameter with one end closed is inserted vertically with the open end down, into a tank of water until the open end is submerged to a depth of 4 ft.
