Oil is filled within a tall cylindrical tank. A flat disk with a height of 1 cm and with a diameter of 5 cm is placed into the oil. There occurs a narrow spacing of 0.1 mm between the disk and the tank wall.

Beyond this moment, measurements reveal that the disk moves 30 cm in 4 seconds. If the oil density is 600 kg/m3and the specific gravity of the disk is 1.5, determine the oil’s viscosity.
