The relative velocity of two infinitely wide parallel plates

thatare 1cm apart is 10cm/s. If the dynamic viscosity of theliquid
between the plates is 0.001 N s/m2 what is theshear
stress between the plates?

Answer:
0.01 N/m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Distance between Plates(dy)=1 cm

Relative Velocity(du)=10 cm/s

Dynamic viscosity
\left ( \mu \right )=0.001 Ns/m^2

We know shear stress is given by
\tau


\tau =(\mu du)/(dy)

where du=relative Velocity

dy=Distance between Plates


\tau =(0.001* 10)/(1)=0.01 N/m^2
