FLUID MECHANICS (VISCOSITY)

1. A piston shown is moving through a cylinder at a speed of 19 ft/s. the film of oil separating the
piston from the cylinder has a viscosity of 0.020 lb-s/ft^2. What force required maintaining this
motion?

2. If the viscosity of water at a certain temperature is 0.01008 poise. (use g= 9.81 m/s^2)
a) Det the absolute viscosity in pound per square foot.
b) Compute the kinematic viscosity in square feet per second.
