A metal plate of area 0.10 m^(2) is connected to a 0.01 kg mass via a string that passes over an ideal pulley (considered massless and frictionless), A liquid with a film thickness of 0.3 mm is placed between the plate and the table. When released the plate moves to the right with a constant speed of 0.085 ms^(-1) . Find the coefficient of viscosity of the liquid.

A liquid flows throug ha pipe of 1.0 mm radius and 10 cm length under a pressure 10^(4) dyne cm^(-2) . Calculate the rate of flow and the speed of the liquid coming out of the tube. The coefficient of viscosity of the liquid is 1.25 centipoise.

If dimensions of critical velocity of a liquid v_c flowing through a tube are expressed as [eta^xrho^yr^z] , where eta , rho and r are the coefficient of viscosity of liquid, density of liquid and radius of the tube respectively, then the values of x , y and z are given by :

When a solid moves through a liquid, the liquid opposes the motion with a force F. The magnitude of F depends on the coefficient of viscosity eta of the liquid, the radius r of the sphere and the speed v of the sphere. Assuming that F is proportional to different powers of these quantities, guess a formula for F using the method of dimension.
