Fluid Mechanics Plate No. 1

The document contains 15 multi-part physics and engineering problems involving fluid mechanics concepts like pressure, density, viscosity, specific gravity, and hydrostatics. The problems cover calculating total water consumption of a city from population data, determining density and specific gravity from other fluid properties, converting between units of kinematic viscosity, and finding pressures at various depths and points in systems involving liquids and gases in containers, pipes, and the ocean.
