Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a water distribution system with fluctuating pressures. If the pressure at one point is 600 kPa and another is 200 kPa, calculate the height difference in a manometer where water is used.

💡 Hint: Determine the density and remember to convert kPa to Pa.

Question 2

In a lab, a gas is stored at 500 kPa at room temperature. If a new ideal gas at 1000 kPa is introduced, use the ideal gas law to find out how they interact at constant volume.

💡 Hint: Focus on keeping volume constant and explore pressure changes.
