✤ SECTION D
29. VISCOSITY
Viscosity is the property of a fluid by virtue of which an internal force
Of friction comes into play when a fluid is in motion and which
opposes the relative motion between its different layers. The
backward dragging force, called viscous drag force or viscous force,
acts tangentially to the different layer of the fluid in motion and tends
to destroy its motion. Viscous force F is directly proportional to (i) the
area A of the layers in contact and (ii) the velocity gradient dv/dx
between the two layers.
F ∝ A dv/dx or F = -ηA dv/dx
η is called coefficient of viscosity of the liquid. It is defined as the
tangential force per unit area of the layer, required to maintain unit
velocity gradient. Its CGS unit is poise and SI unit is poiseuille. Thin
liquid like water, alcohol, etc. are less viscous than thick liquids, like
coal tar, blood, glycerine, etc.
[1] The SI unit of coefficient of viscosity is
(a) Nm/s (b) N/m²s
(c) Ns/m² (d) Nms²
[2] Viscous force exerted by the liquid flowing between two plates in a
streamline flow depends upon
(a) Velocity gradient in the direction perpendicular to its plates
(b) Area of the plates
(c) Coefficient viscosity of the liquid
(d) All of these

(a) Is greater than coefficient of viscosity for cold air
(b) Is smaller than coefficient of viscosity for cold air
(c) Is same as a coefficient of viscosity for cold air
(d) Will increase or decrease depending on the external pressure
[4] The relative velocity of two consecutive layers is 8 cm/s. If the
perpendicular distance between the layers n 0.1 cm, then the
velocity gradient will be
(a) 0.8 s (b) 80 s (c) 8 s (d) 0.08 s
OR
[5] A Square Plate of 0.1 m side moves parallel to a second plate with
a velocity of 0.1 m/s, both plates being immersed in water. If the
viscous force is 0.002 N and the coefficient of viscosity is 0.01
poise, the distance between the plates is
(a) 0.1 m (b) 0.0005 m (c) 0.005 m (d) 0.05 m
30. CONSERVATION OF LINEAR MOMENTUM:
Consider an isolated system of n interacting particles. The mutual forces between pairs of particles in the system cause changes in the moments of the individual particles. By third law, the mutual forces between any pair of particles are equal and opposite. By second law, the change in momentum for any pair of particles are F.dt and - F.dt. Thus the momentum changes cancel in pairs and total momentum of the system remains constant. This law lends to a fundamental principle of Physics called the law of conservation of linear momentum. This law states that the total linear momentum of an isolated system of interacting particles is conserved. The recoil of a gun on firing, explosion of a bomb into different fragments due to internal forces, the
working of rockets and jet planes, etc. Can be explained on the basis of momentum conservation.
