2. What is the difference between an ideal and a real incompressible fluid?
3. What is kinematic viscosity? Write it unit.
4. Define a Newtonian fluid.
5. Define a non-Newtonian fluid.
6. Give five examples of Newtonian fluids.
7. Give five examples of non-Newtonian fluids.
8. Give three examples of the types of fluids that are non-Newtonian.

9. The density of oil is 855 kg/m3. Calculate the specific gravity and the kinematics
viscosity if the dynamic viscosity of the oil is 5 x 10-3 Ns/m3.

10. The relative density of ethyl alcohol is 0.79. Determine the density and specific
weight of the alcohol.

11. Calculate the specific weight, density and specific gravity of a liquid having a volume
of 6 m3 and weight of 44 kN.

12. The oil with the volume of 5.6 m3 have a weight equal to 46 800 N. Determine it
density and specific gravity.

13. Which would have the greater dynamic viscosity, a cold lubricating oil or fresh
water? Why?

14. A liquid has a specific gravity of 1.9 and kinematic viscosity of 6 stokes. What is its
dynamic viscosity?

15. The space between two parallel plates 5 mm apart is filled with crude oil. A force of 2
N is required to drag the upper plat at a constant velocity of 0.8 m/s. The lower plate
is stationary. The area of the upper plate is 0.09 m2. Determine the dynamic and
kinematic viscosity of the oil if the specific gravity of oil is 0.9.
