Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(100\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(F =\eta A \frac{\Delta v _{ x }}{\Delta y }\)

\(\frac{ F }{ A }=\eta \frac{\Delta v _{ x }}{\Delta y }\)

\(\Rightarrow 10^{-3}=10^{-2} \times \frac{36 \times 1000}{ h \times 3600}\)

\(\Rightarrow h =10^{-2} \times \frac{36 \times 1000}{10^{-3} \times 3600}=100 \,m\)
