Example -
A plate of size 60 cm x 60 cm slides over a plane inclined to the horizontal at an angle
of 30°. It is separated from the plane with a film of oil of thickness 1.5 mm. The plate
weighs 25kg and slides down with a velocity of 0.25 mys. Calculate the dynamic
viscosity of oil used as lubricant. What would be its kinematic viscosity if the specific
gravity of oil 1 0.95. \
