What is the value of the shear modulus of sulfuric acid?

For the situation shown in the figure,water flows on the surface of a fixed plate. The velocity of water as a function of distance $y$ is given as: $u = \alpha \left[ \frac{y}{h} - 2\left( \frac{y}{h} \right)^2 \right]$. Determine the magnitude of the shear stress that the water applies at the base of the plate. The coefficient of viscosity is $\eta$.

Discuss the coefficient of viscosity in terms of stress and strain.

$A$ metal plate of area $10^{-2} \,m^2$ rests on a layer of castor oil, $2 \times 10^{-3} \,m$ thick, whose coefficient of viscosity is $1.55 \,Ns\, m^{-2}$. The approximate horizontal force required to move the plate with a uniform speed of $3 \times 10^{-2} \,ms^{-1}$ is (in $N$)

$A$ metal block of area $0.10 \; m^2$ is connected to a $0.010 \; kg$ mass via a string that passes over an ideal pulley (considered massless and frictionless),as shown in the figure. $A$ liquid with a film thickness of $0.30 \; mm$ is placed between the block and the table. When released,the block moves to the right with a constant speed of $0.085 \; m s^{-1}$. Find the coefficient of viscosity of the liquid.
