Assignment 1

The document contains 15 physics problems related to fluid properties such as density, viscosity, pressure and volume. The problems involve calculating values like mass, volume, density and viscosity given other fluid properties. Sample problems include determining the volume of a tank given its empty and full weights, calculating the mass and weight of a cargo tank filled with oil, and finding the shear stress and force required to drag a plywood across a water surface.
