Question: A reference liquid of known viscosity coefficient eta R flows in a horizontal pipe of constant cross-section and opens at one end. The pressure

 A reference liquid of known viscosity coefficient eta R flows in a horizontal pipe of constant  
cross-section and opens at one end. The pressure difference between the ends of the pipe 
is kept constant. At the open end, a liquid leakage of 3 l in 200 s is measured. Later,  
a liquid with unknown viscosity coefficient eta is allowed to flow into the same tube with  
 the same pressure difference between the tubes ends. A liquid leakage of 0.5 l in 400 s is 
measured. What is the ratio eta /eta R?
