(16 Marks) 1. An oil film of 1.5 mm thickness is used for lubrication of plate of 80x80 cm size and Inclined plane having 200 with the horizontal. The weight of the plate is 400 N. taking the viscosity of the oil as 10 poise; find the velocity of the plate moving along the inclined plane.

2. A 15 cm diameter vertical cylinder rotates concentrically inside another cylinder of diameter 15.10 cm. Both are 25 cm high. The space between the cylinders is filled with a liquid whose viscosity is unknown. If a torque of 12 Nm is required to rotate the inner cylinder at 100 rpm. Determine the viscosity of the fluid.

3. Calculate the dynamic viscosity of oil, which is used for lubrication of surface between a plate of size 0.6*0.9 m and an inclined plane with an angle of inclination 25 degree with horizontal. The weight of plate is 500 N and it slides down the inclined with a uniform velocity of 0.4m/sec .The thickness of oil film is 1.8 mm. 4. Derive continuity equation

5. The Velocity Distribution for flow over a flat plate is given by u= [(2/3) yy2], Where u is the point velocity in meter per second at a distance y meter above the plate. Determine the shear stress at y=0 and y=15 cm. Assume dynamic viscosity as 8.63 poises
