(8) Consider the rotary viscometer used in lab (the one that had the spinning cylinder). While the one in lab, has a spinning cylinder and the station cup, consider a more primitive version in the figure to the right which features a rotating outer cylinder an inner cylinder which is attached to a wire and allowed to rotate.
Assume the following equation accurately describes the instrument:
=f(,,K,D1,D2,l)
Where is the angle of twist, is the angular velocity, is the fluid viscosity, K depends on the wire properties and has the dimension force-length (F*L),D1 and D2 are the diameters of the inner and outer cylinders, respectively, and l is the length of the submerged liquid. (Hint: angle are unitless)
The following data was collected using the following: =0.01lb*sft2,K=10lb*ft,l=1ft, and D1 and D2 were constant.
