A viscometer constructed of two 30-cm-long concentric cylinders is used to measure the viscosity of a fluid. The outer diameter of the inner cylinder is 9 cm, and the gap between the two cylinders is 0.18 cm. The inner cylinder is rotated at 250 rpm, and the torque is measured to be 1.4 N⋅m. The viscosity of the fluid is (a) 0.0084 N⋅s/m2 (b) 0.017 N⋅s/m2 (c) 0.062 N⋅s/m2 (d ) 0.0049 N⋅s/m2 (e) 0.56 N⋅s/m2
The viscosity of a fluid is to be measured by a viscometer constructed of two 40-cm-long concentric cylinders . The outer diameter of the inner cylinder is 12 cm, and the gap between the two cylinders is 0.15 cm. The inner cylinder is rotated at 300 rpm, and the torque is measured to be 1.8 N⋅m. Determine the viscosity of the fluid.
A thin plate travels between two plane, parallel, horizontal and stationary surfaces at a constant speed of 7 m/s. The two stationary surfaces are spaced 6 cm apart, and the middle is filled with oil of viscosity of 0.9 Ns/m2.The moving plate submerged in oil has a length of 2 m and a width of 0.5 m.
(i) If the plate moves through the mid-plane between the surfaces, determine the force required to maintain this motion.
