Q.2 A plate 0.027 mm distant from a fixed plate, moves at 62 cm/s and requires a force of 2.2 N
per unit area to maintain this speed. Determine the fluid viscosity between the plates (in Poise).

shaft is of diameter 0.5 m and rotates at 195rpm. Calculate the power lost in the bearing for a
sleeve length of 90 mm. The thickness of oil film is 1.5 mm.
