$A$ space $2.5\ cm$ wide between two large plane surfaces is filled with oil. The force required to drag a very thin plate of area $0.5\ m^2$ just midway between the surfaces at a speed of $0.5\ m/s$ is $1\ N$. The coefficient of viscosity in $kg/(m \cdot s)$ is:

  • A
    $5 \times 10^{-2}$
  • B
    $2.5 \times 10^{-2}$
  • C
    $1 \times 10^{-2}$
  • D
    $7.5 \times 10^{-2}$
