    This document contains multiple fluid mechanics problems and their solutions. It provides the key parameters and equations to calculate volume decrease of compressed water, the maximum force applied to a membrane in a surface tension experiment, the absolute pressure in a vessel after a vacuum is applied, and the pressure at a point in an oil manometer. It seeks to determine the difference in oil levels and pressure at different points using fluid properties like specific gravity and differential pressures. The final problem calculates the diameter of a piston required to lift an 80kN load using hydraulic oil at 10MPa pressure.
