    1. Contrary to what you might expect, a solid steel ball can float on water due to the surface tension
    effect. Determine the maximum diameter of a steel ball that would float on water at 10°C. What
    would your answer be for an aluminum ball? Take the densities of steel and aluminum balls to be
    7800 kg/m3 and 2700 kg/m3 , respectively.

    2. The gage pressure of the air in the tank shown in Fig. P3–44 is measured to be 50 kPa. Determine
    the differential height h of the mercury column.

    3. Derive a relation for the capillary rise of a liquid between two large parallel plates a distance t
    apart inserted into the liquid vertically. Take the contact angle to be f.

    4. A system is equipped with two pressure gages and a manometer, as shown in Fig. P3–145. For Δh
    = 12 cm and hoil =65 cm, determine the pressure difference ΔP = P2 − P1.

    5. An oil pipeline and a 1.3-m3 rigid air tank are connected to each other by a manometer, as shown
    in Fig. P3–146. If the tank contains 15 kg of air at 80°C, determine (a) the absolute pressure in the
    pipeline and (b) the change in Δh when the temperature in the tank drops to 20°C. Assume the
    pressure in the oil pipeline to remain constant, and the air volume in the manometer to be
    negligible relative to the volume of the tank.
