10 Quiz Fluids

The document contains 11 physics problems related to fluid mechanics, pressure, density, and forces. The problems involve calculating quantities like the volume or mass of a substance given its density, the force exerted by atmospheric pressure on a structure, the pressure inside a submarine, the density of an unknown liquid, the mass that can be lifted by a hydraulic jack, the volume of a secret cavity inside a sculpture, the speed of fluid flow through pipes of different diameters, the pressure at different points in a tube with varying cross-sectional areas through which mercury is flowing, and the height of mercury in a manometer.
