- An incompressible fluid (kinematic viscosity, 7.4 × 10–7 m²/s, specific gravity, 0.88) is held between two parallel plates. If the top plate is moved with a velocity of 0.5 m/s while the bottom one is held stationary, the fluid attains a linear velocity profile in the gap of 0.5 mm between these plates: the shear stress in Pascals on the surface of top plate is

Given:
υ = 7.4 × 10–7 m2 /s
ρ = 0.88 × 1000 = 880
v = 0.5 m/sShear stress, τ = μ⋅ du = (υ × ρ) × du dy dy = 7.4 × 10–7 × 800 × 0.5 = 0.6512. (0.0005) Correct Option: B
