Important Questions on Mechanical Properties of Fluids
A metal block of base area is placed on a table, as shown in figure. A liquid film of thickness is inserted between the block and the table. The block is pushed by a horizontal force of and moves with a constant speed. If the viscosity of the liquid is , the speed of block is ______ .









A steel ball is dropped in a viscous liquid. The distance of the steel ball from the top of the liquid is shown below. The terminal velocity of the ball is closest to






A raindrop with radius falls from a cloud at a height above the ground. Assume that the drop is spherical throughout its fall and the force of buoyance may be neglected, then the terminal speed attained by the raindrop is : [Density of water and Density of air Coefficient of viscosity of air



A flat plate of area is separated form a large plate by a layer of Glycerine thick. If the coefficient of viscosity of Glycerine is poise, the force required to keep the plate moving with a velocity of is
