Unit Conversion

Standard units are also called SI units. SI units are used for measuring a physical quantity satisfying certain conditions. There are two types of units: fundamental units and derived units. Fundamental units are physical quantities that are independent, that is, they do not depend on other quantities like mass, length, or time. There are plenty of quantities in our lives which need to be measured and compared. Measuring is the comparison of a particular physical quantity with its reference value. A unit is a measure of a fixed physical quantity. A physical quantity is the product of a unit and the numerical value we need to compare with.

The fuel gage for a gasoline tank in a car reads proportional to its bottom gage. The tank is 35 cm deep and accidentally contaminated with 3 cm of water. Specific gravity of gasoline is 0.68. If the tank is accidentally contaminated with 3 cm of water, how many cm of air remains on top of the tank when the gage reads "FULL"?

Although gas station owners lock their tanks at night, a gas station owner was the victim of theft because his employee had a key to the tank. The owner of the gas station wants to bury the gasoline so deep that no vacuum pump will be able to extract it. He has hired a general contractor to dig the holes for the tanks. What is the minimum gasoline surface depth ℎ2 needed to prevent siphoning by any pump? Assume the specific gravity of gasoline is 0.733 and that the tank is not sealed. (You can ignore the drop rate of the gasoline level inside of the tank.) ℎ2= The gas station owner balks at the contractor's estimate. He neither has the funds nor approval from the city to dig that deeply. However, the contractor tels him that the best a thief could hope to have at his disposal is a 212‑mbar vacuum pump. Anything better would be enormously expensive. Given this information, how deep ℎ2 would the gasoline have to sit below the surface to keep it safe from thieves? ℎ2=
