If the velocity distribution of a fluid over a plate is given by u=(3/4) y - y2, where u is the velocity in

metre per second at a distance


of y metres above the plate, determine the shear stress at y = 0.15
metre. Take dynamic viscosity of the fluid as 8.5 x 10-5 kg-sec/m2.

Find the shear stress developed in a lubricating oil, of viscosity 9.81 poise, filled between two parallel
plates 1 cm apart and moving with relative velocity of 2 m/s ?

Explanation: Shear stress is the stress that acts co-planar with cross section of the material.

Let the viscosity be n, distance between the plates be dz and relative velocity be du.

du= 2m/s

dz= 1 cm

= 0.01 m ( 1 m = 100 cm)

n= 9.81 poise

= 0.981 Pa s ( 1 poise= 0.1 Pa s)

The formula for the shear stress developed in the lubricating oil is given by the formula:
Shear stress

= n × du / dz

= 0.981 × 2 / 0.01

= 196.2 Pa

Therefore, the shear stress developed in the lubricating oil is 196.2 Pascal (Pa).
