Problem 1 (Problem 1-30 pg. 34).

The plate is moving at 0.6 mm/s when the force applied to the plate is 4mN. The surface area of the plate in contact with the liquid is 0.5 m$^2$.

Determine:

  1. The approximate viscosity of the liquid, assuming the velocity profile is linear.

Problem 2 (Problem 1-49 pg. 37).

The tube rests on a 1.5-mm-thick film of lubricant having a viscosity of $\mu = 0.0586~\frac{N \cdot s}{m^2}$. The tube is rotating at a constant angular velocity of $\omega = 4.5~rad/s$

Determine:

  1. The torque $T$ that must be applied to maintain the motion. (Assume the velocity profile in the lubricant is linear)

Problem 3. (Problem 1-59 pg. 39)

Water is at temperature of 30$^o$ C. A pair of glass plates is lowered into the water as shown.

Determine:

  1. The height, $h$, of the water as a function of the gap, $w$, between the two glass plates, for a surface tension of $\sigma = 0.0718~N/m$
  2. Plot the height, $h$, versus the width the gap, $w$, in 0.4 mm increments starting at $w=0.4~mm$
