An oil of density 850 kg/m3 is pumped in a pipe of diameter 20 cm. The discharge is measured as 0.015 m/s. The
drop in pressure in a length of 800 m of pipeline, both ends of which are at the same elevation is measured as 98 kPa.
Assuming Re < 2000, calculate the value of absolute viscosity of the oil.
4.) A quart of SAE 30 oil at 68 °F weighs about 1.85 lb. Calculate the oil's specific weight, mass density, and specific gravity.
