The viscosity of carbon dioxide was measured by comparing its rate of flow through a long narrow

Question:

The viscosity of carbon dioxide was measured by comparing its rate of flow through a long narrow tube (using Poiseuille’s formula) with that of argon. For the same pressure differential, the same volume of carbon dioxide passed through the tube in 55 s as argon in 83 s. The viscosity of argon at 25°C is 208 µP; what is the viscosity of carbon dioxide? Estimate the molecular diameter of carbon dioxide.
