A plate having an area of 0.6 m2 is sliding down the inclined plane at 300 to the horizontal with a velocity of 0.36 m/s. There is a cushion of fluid 1.8 mm thick between the plane and the plate. Calculate the viscosity of the fluid if the weight of the plate is 280 N.

Answer :

Answer:

The viscosity of the fluid is 1.16 N-s/m²

Explanation:

Given that,

Area = 0.6 m²

Angle = 30°

Velocity = 0.36 m/s

Thickness = 1.8 mm

Weight = 280 N

We need to calculate the viscosity of the fluid

Using balance equation

[tex]w\sin\theta=\dfrac{\mu\times v}{t}\times A[/tex]

Put the value in the equation

[tex]280\sin30=\dfrac{\mu\times0.36}{1.8\times10^{-3}}\times(0.6)[/tex]

[tex]140=\mu\times120[/tex]

[tex]\mu=1.16\ N-s/m^2[/tex]

Hence. The viscosity of the fluid is 1.16 N-s/m².
