There is a $1\, mm$ thick layer of glycerine between a flat plate of area $100\, cm^2$ and a big plate. If the coefficient of viscosity of glycerine is $1.0\, kg/(m\cdot s)$,then the force required to move the plate with a velocity of $7\, cm/s$ is $.......\, N$.

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 $= 10^{-3} \ SI \ units$)

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 $\eta = 10^{-2}\, \text{poise}$.
