How do you know if a word is short or long u?

Monosyllabic words and their derivatives have a short vowel. A vowel followed by a single consonant and an 'e' is long. A vowel followed by a single consonant and a different vowel is likely to be long. A vowel followed by two consonants is short. There are exceptions, of course, and you just have to learn them I'm afraid.
