of 1.962N/m2 area of plate. Determine dynamic viscosity of liquid between the plates.

12. A plate having an area of 1m2 is dragged down an inclined plane at 450 to horizontal with
a velocity of 0.5m/s due to its own weight. There is a cushion of liquid 1mm thick
between the inclined plane and the plate. If viscosity of oil is 0.1 Pa-s find the weight of
the plate.

13. Calculate dynamic viscosity of oil which is used for lubrication between a square plate of
size 0.8 m X 0.78 m and an inclined plane with angle of inclination of 300 as shown in
figure. The weight of the square plate is 300 N it slides down the inclined plane with the
uniform velocity of 0.3 m/s. The thickness of oil film is 1.5 mm.

oil layer sandwiched between two plates, one stationary and the other moving at a
constant velocity of 0.3 m/s, as shown in Fig. The dynamic viscosity of oil is 0.027 Pa - s.

(b) Determine the force that needs to be applied on the plate to maintain this motion

contact angle of kerosene with a glass surface is 26°. Determine the capillary rise of
kerosene in the tube. Take surface tension of Kerosene at 20 0C is 0.0278 N/m and
specific gravity of kerosene = 0.830.
