Aswimming pool whose volume is 10 comma 000 gal contains water that is 0.01% chlorine. starting at tequals0, city water containing 0.003% chlorine is pumped into the pool at a rate of 5 gal/min. the pool water flows out at the same rate. what is the percentage of chlorine in the pool after 1 hour? when will the pool water be 0.006% chlorine?

Consider a u-tube whose arms are open to the atmosphere. now equal volumes of water and light oil (ρ = 49.3 lbm/ft3) are poured from different arms. a person blows from the oil side of the u-tube until the contact surface of the two fluids moves to the bottom of the u-tube, and therefore, the liquid levels in the two arms are the same. if the fluid height in each arm is 30 in, determine the gage pressure exerted by the person on the oil by blowing.
