Q-1) A solid block of mass M slides on a thin film of oil of dynamic

viscosity (μ).The film thickness is h and the area of the block A. When
released, mass m exerts tension on the cord, causing the block to
accelerate. Neglect friction in the pulley and air resistance. The mass
M=5kg, m=1kg, A=2500 mm2, and h=0.5 mm. Take g=10m/s2.If the
system attain a constant velocity of 1 m/s, then the oil viscosity μ is

a) 2.0 Pa.sec
b) 2.0 Kg/m-sec
c) 20 poise
d) All of these
