Homework No. 1 + Solution Fluid

This document contains homework problems and solutions related to fluid mechanics. It includes problems classifying different substances, calculating fluid properties like viscosity and kinematic viscosity, determining film thickness, and estimating forces related to surface tension. Platinum is used for the ring material because it is inert and will not react with the fluid.
