Terms 1. Is The Instrument Used To Measure The Absolute Pressure of The Atmosphere? (Barometer)

This document contains a prelim exam for a mechanical engineering course focusing on fluid mechanics. It includes 10 multiple choice terms related to fluid mechanics concepts. It also includes 8 fluid mechanics problems involving concepts like pressure, bulk modulus, viscosity, specific gravity, and fluid depth/pressure relationships that students were required to solve. The problems involve calculations related to pressure, specific volume, gas constants, viscosity, fluid levels/pressures in multi-fluid systems, and fluid pressure at different depths.
