Viscosity is the property of a liquid due to which it :

  • A
    occupies minimum surface area
  • B
    opposes relative motion between its adjacent layers
  • C
    becomes spherical in shape
  • D
    tends to regain its deformed position

$A$ flat plate of area $10 \, cm^2$ is separated from a large plate by a layer of glycerine $1 \, mm$ thick. If the coefficient of viscosity of glycerine is $20 \, \text{poise}$, the force required to keep the plate moving with a velocity of $1 \, cm/s$ is .......... $dyne$.

$A$ flat plate of area $0.1 \,m^2$ is placed on a flat surface and is separated from it by a film of oil $10^{-5} \,m$ thick whose coefficient of viscosity is $1.5 \,N \cdot s \cdot m^{-2}$. The force required to cause the plate to slide on the surface at a constant speed of $1 \,mm \cdot s^{-1}$ is ............ $N$.

$A$ metal block of area $0.10 \; m^2$ is connected to a $0.010 \; kg$ mass via a string that passes over an ideal pulley (considered massless and frictionless),as shown in the figure. $A$ liquid with a film thickness of $0.30 \; mm$ is placed between the block and the table. When released,the block moves to the right with a constant speed of $0.085 \; m s^{-1}$. Find the coefficient of viscosity of the liquid.
