Viscosity is the property of a liquid due to which it :

Write $SI$ and $CGS$ unit of coefficient of viscosity.

When stirring with a spoon is stopped in milk,it comes to rest after some time. Why?

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 $\eta$.

$A$ 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 $N$)

Water is flowing steadily in a river. $A$ and $B$ are two layers of water at heights $40 \ cm$ and $90 \ cm$ from the bottom. The velocity of layer $A$ is $12 \ cm/s$. If the velocity of the water at the bottom is $0$,what is the velocity of layer $B$ (in $cm/s$)?
