Water in a river $20 \ m$ deep is flowing at a speed of $10 \ ms^{-1}$. The shearing stress between the horizontal layers of water in the river in $Nm^{-2}$ is (Coefficient of viscosity of water $= 10^{-3} \ SI \ units$)

$A$ metal block of base area $0.20\,m^2$ is placed on a table,as shown in the figure. $A$ liquid film of thickness $0.25\,mm$ is inserted between the block and the table. The block is pushed by a horizontal force of $0.1\,N$ and moves with a constant speed. If the viscosity of the liquid is $5.0 \times 10^{-3} \,Pa-s$,the speed of the block is $.........\times 10^{-3}\,m/s$.

$A$ Newtonian fluid fills the clearance between a shaft and a sleeve. When a force of $800$ $N$ is applied to the shaft,parallel to the sleeve,the shaft attains a speed of $1.5$ $cm/s$. If a force of $2.4$ $kN$ is applied instead,the shaft would move with a speed of ......... $cm/s$.

Hot liquids flow more easily than cold liquids. Give the reason.

As the temperature of water increases,its viscosity

The velocity of water in a river is $18\, km/h$ near the surface. If the river is $5\, m$ deep,find the shearing stress between the horizontal layers of water. The coefficient of viscosity of water is $\eta = 10^{-2}\, \text{poise}$.
