Important Questions on Viscosity

HARD
IMPORTANT

Define coefficient of viscosity. Explain stokes' law and explain the conditions under which a raindrop attains terminal velocity vt. Give the expression for vt

MEDIUM

Define viscosity. What are its units and dimensions?

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

In Millikan's oil drop experiment, what is the terminal speed of an uncharged drop of radius 2.0 x 10-5 m and density 1.2 x 10-3 kg m-3. Take the viscosity of air at the temperature of the experiment to be 1.8 × 10-5  Pa s. How much is the viscous force on the drop at that speed? Neglect buoyancy of the drop due to air.

(a) What is the largest average velocity of blood flow in an artery of radius 2 × 10-3 m if the flow must remain laminar? (Take density of blood to be 1.06 × 103 kgm3)
(b) What is the corresponding flow rate? (Take viscosity of blood to be 2.084 × 10-3 Pa s).
