Question: 1 . [ 1 0 points ] As the density of a fluid is a function of temperature and pressure, given the pressure and temperature

1.[10 points] As the density of a fluid is a function of temperature and pressure, given
the pressure and temperature of a gas, we can estimate the gas volume by measuring
its weight. Consider a compressed oxygen tank containing 60 kg oxygen at the room
temperature of 20 oC. A pressure sensor on the tank reads its absolute pressure as
14000 kPa. Using the equation of state of idea gas, determine the volume of the tank.
(Hint: See Table 1.8 for the gas constant of oxygen.)
