Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 68P
A steel sphere (SG = 7.8) of 13 mm diameter falls at a constant velocity of 0.06 m/s through an oil (SG = 0.90). Calculate the viscosity of the oil, assuming that the fall occurs in a large tank.

2) The problem involves a cylinder falling inside a pipe that is filled with oil as depicted in the figure.
The small space between the cylinder and the pipe is lubricated with an oil film that has viscosity
m. Derive a formula for the terminal velocity V. of the cylinder with weight W, diameter d, and
length L sliding inside a vertical smooth pipe that has inside diameter D. Assume that the cylinder
is concentric with the pipe as it falls.
A cylindrical machine part moves within a surrounding cylinder. The centrelines of the part and the surrounding cylinder are coincident. The cylinder is full of an oil (viscosity
0.25kg/ms) that is not flowing i.e. no pressure gradient is applied. What is the value of the viscous force exerted on the machine part as it moves along the cylinder at a speed of
9m/s?
• The machine part is 0.06m long and has a radius of 0.041m.
• The ratio of the machine part radius to the cylinder radius is 0.98.
• Assume that the flow is dominated by viscous forces.
• Give your answer as an absolute value i.e. no negative sign, in Newtons to one decimal place.
A Plate 0.05 mm distant from a fixed plate moves at 1.2 m/s and require a force of 2.2 N/m2 to maintain this speed. Find the viscosity of the fluid between the plates.
