The velocity of upper layer of water in a river is \(36 kmh ^{-1}\). Shearing stress between horizontal layers of water is \(10^{-3} Nm ^{-2}\). Depth of the river is \(m\). (Co-efficiency of viscosity of water is \(10^{-2} \,Pa . s\) )

  1. A \(500\)
  2. B \(107\)
  3. C \(700\)
  4. D \(100\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(100\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(F =\eta A \frac{\Delta v _{ x }}{\Delta y }\) \(\frac{ F }{ A }=\eta \frac{\Delta v _{ x }}{\Delta y }\) \(\Rightarrow 10^{-3}=10^{-2} \times \frac{36 \times 1000}{ h \times 3600}\) \(\Rightarrow h =10^{-2} \times \frac{36 \times 1000}{10^{-3} \times 3600}=100 \,m\)
