Question:
The specific gravity of gasoline is approximately 0.70.
(a) Determine the mass (kg) of 50.00 liters of gasoline.
(b) The mass flow rate of gasoline exiting a refinery tank is 1150kg/min. Estimate the volumetric flow rate in liters/s.
(c) Estimate the average mass flow rate (lbm/min) delivered by a gasoline pump.
(d) Gasoline and kerosene (specific gravity = 0.82) are blended to obtain a mixture with a specific gravity of 0.78. Calculate the volumetric ratio (volume of gasoline/volume of kerosene) of the two compounds in the mixtures, assuming V blend = V gasoline + V kerosene.

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
