Basic Considerations
FE-type Exam Review Problems: Problems 1.1 to 1.13
1.1 (C) m = F/a or kg = N/m/s2 = N·s2/m
1.2 (B) [μ] = [τ/(du/dy)] = (F/L2)/(L/T)/L = F.T/L2
1.3 (A) 2.36 ×10−8 Pa = 23.6 ×10−9 Pa = 23.6 nPa
The mass is the same on earth and the moon, so we calculate the mass using the
weight given on earth as:
1.4 (C) m = W/g = 250 N/9.81 m/s2 = 25.484 kg
Hence, the weight on the moon is:
W = mg = 25.484 × 1.6 = 40.77 N
The shear stress is due to the component of the force acting tangential to the
area:
1.5 (C) Fshear = F sin θ = 4200sin 30 = 2100 N
F 2100 N
τ = shear = −4
= 84 ×103 Pa or 84 kPa
A 250 ×10 m 2

Using Eqn. (1.5.3):

The density of water at 20°C is 10−3 N ⋅ s/m2
Now substitute in the equation for shear stress to get
du
τ =μ = 10−3 N ⋅ s/m 2 × 1000 1/s = 1 N/m 2 = 1 Pa
dr
Using Eqn. (1.5.16), β = 0 (for clean glass tube), and σ = 0.0736 N/m for water
(Table B.1 in Appendix B) we write:
1.9 (D) 4σ cosβ 4 × 0.0736 N/m ×1
h= = = 3 m or 300 cm
ρ gD 1000 kg/m3 × 9.81 m/s2 ×10 ×10−6 m
where we used N = kg×m/s2
1.10 (C) Density
Assume propane (C3H8) behaves as an ideal gas. First, determine the gas
R 8.314 kJ/kmol ⋅ K
constant for propane using R = u = = 0.1885 kJ/kg
M 44.1 kg/kmol
1.11 (C)
pV 800 kN/m 2 × 4 m3
then, m = = = 59.99 kg ≈ 60 kg
RT 0.1885 kJ/(kg ⋅ K) × (10 + 273) K
Consider water and ice as the system. Hence, the change in energy for the
system is zero. That is, the change in energy for water should be equal to the
change in energy for the ice. So, we write ΔEice = ΔEwater
mice × 320 kJ/kg = mwater × cwater ΔT
The mass of ice is calculate using
mice = ρ V = 5 cubes × (1000 kg/m3 ) × ( 40 × 10−6 m3 /cube ) = 0.2 kg
1.12 (B) Where we assumed the density of ice to be equal to that of water, namely 1000
kg/m3. Ice is actually slightly lighter than water, but it is not necessary for
such accuracy in this problem.
Similarly, the mass of water is calculated using
mwater = ρ V = (1000 kg/m3 ) × 2 liters (10−3 m3 /liter ) = 2 kg
Solving for the temperature change for water we get
0.2 kg × 320 kJ/kg = 2 kg × 4.18 kJ/kg ⋅ K × ΔT ⇒ ΔT = 7.66 C

Since a dog’s whistle produces sound waves at a high frequency, the speed of

Pressure and Temperature
Use the values from Table B.3 in the Appendix:
b) At an elevation of 1000 m the atmospheric pressure is 89.85 kPa. Hence, the
1.28 absolute pressure is 52.3 + 89.85 = 142.2 kPa
d) At an elevation of 10,000 m the atmospheric pressure is 26.49 kPa, and the
absolute pressure is 52.3 + 26.49 = 78.8 kPa
p = po e−gz/RT = 101 e−(9.81 × 4000)/[(287) × (15 + 273)] = 62.8 kPa
From Table B.3, at 4000 m: p = 61.6 kPa. The percent error is
1.30
62.8 − 61.6
% error = × 100 = 1.95 %
61.6
Using Table B.3 and linear interpolation we write:
10,600 − 10,000
T = 223.48 + (223.6 − 216.7) = 221.32 K

The normal force due pressure is: Fn = (120, 000 N/m 2 ) × 0.2 × 10−4 m 2 = 2.4 N
The tangential force due to shear stress is: Ft = 20 N/m 2 × 0.2 ×10−4 m 2 = 0.0004 N
1.34 The total force is F = Fn2 + Ft2 = 2.40 N
⎛ 0.0004 ⎞
The angle with respect to the normal direction is θ = tan−1 ⎜ ⎟ = 0.0095°

Density and Specific Weight
Using Eq. 1.5.3 we have
ρ = 1000 − (T − 4)2/180 = 1000 − (70 − 4)2/180 = 976 kg/m3
γ = 9800 − (T − 4)2/18 = 9800 − (70 − 4)2/180 = 9560 N/m3
Using Table B.1 the density and specific weight at 70°C are
1.36 ρ = 977.8 kg/m3
γ = 977.8 × 9.81 = 9592.2 N/m3

From Fig. B.1 at 90°C, μ ≅ 2 ×10−5 N ⋅ s/m2 , so that the kinematic viscosity is

ν= = = 6.861× 10−6 m2 /s
ρ 2.915 kg/m3
The kinematic viscosity cannot be read from Fig. B.2 since the pressure is not at
100 kPa.
The shear stress can be calculated using τ = μ du /dy . From the given velocity

From Table B.1 at 10°C for water, μ = 1.308 ×10−3 N ⋅ s/m2

For a spherical droplet the pressure is given by p =

⇒ p= = = 29.6 kPa
R 5 × 10−6 m
4σ 2 × 0.0741 N/m
For bubbles: ⇒ p = = = 59.3 kPa
R 5 × 10−6 m
For a spherical droplet the net force due to the pressure difference Δp between
the inside and outside of the droplet is balanced by the surface tension force,
which is expressed as:
2σ 2 × 0.025 N/m
1.60 Δp = ⇒ pinside − poutside = = 10 kPa
R 5 × 10−6 m
Hence, pinside = poutside + 10 kPa = 8000 kPa + 10 kPa = 8010 kPa
In order to achieve this high pressure in the droplet, diesel fuel is usually pumped
to a pressure of about 2000 bar before it is injected into the engine.
