The speed of the water in a river is V near the surface. If the coefficient of viscosity of water is η and the depth of the river is H, then the shearing stress between the horizontal layers of water is

  1. A nH/V
  2. B ηV/H
  3. C VηH
  4. D ηVH
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) ηV/H

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The relation of viscous force between different layers of fluid is given as, F=ηAdvdx=ηAvH, here η is the viscosity of water, A is the area, and dvdx is the rate of change of velocity with the change in position. Shearing stress = FA=ηvH.
