Fluid Mechanics Problem Solving Guide

This document contains a fluid mechanics exam with seven sections. [SECTION A] contains short answer questions about fluid mechanics concepts like cohesion, pressure, flow types, and lift and drag. [SECTION B] contains longer problems about topics like manometers, continuity equations, pipe flow losses, and boundary layers. [SECTION C] asks students to solve problems involving fluid stability, submerged plates, and fluid acceleration. The remaining sections ask students to solve additional problems involving fluid flow rates, boundary layers, fluid forces on plates, and discharge equations. The exam tests a range of fluid mechanics concepts through short conceptual questions and longer applied problems.
