Question:

A concentric cylinder viscometer may be formed by rotating the inner member of a pair of closely fitting cylinders. The annular gap is small so that a linear velocity profile will exist in the liquid sample. Consider a viscometer with an inner cylinder of 4 in. diameter and 8 in. height, and a clearance gap width of 0.001 in., filled with castor oil at \(90^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\). Determine the torque required to turn the inner cylinder at \(400 \mathrm{rpm}\).
