0.95 and viscosity 2.45 Ns/m2. A metal plate 1.5 m x 1.5 m x 0.15 cm
weighing 50 N is to be lifted through the gap at a constant speed of 0.1 m/s.
estimate the force required.
2. A piston of 7.9 cm diameter rotates concentrically inside a cylinder of 8 cm
diameter. Both the piston and the cylinder are 12 cm long. If the space
between the cylinder and the piston is filled with an oil having a dynamic
viscosity =2.35 poise, calculate the torque necessary to rotate the piston at
150 rpm.
