Problem 37(Shear Stress). A concentric cylinder viscometer may be formed by rotating the inner member of a pair of closely fitting cylinders. The ammiar gap is small so that a linear velocity profile will exist in the liquid sample.
A concentric cylinder viscometer is driven by a falling mass M connected by a cord and pulley to the inner cylinder, as shown in figure 1. The liquid to be tested fills the anmiar gap of width a and height H. After a brief starting transient, the mass falls at constant speed Vm.
(a) Assuming that the pulley holding up the mass is frictionless develop an algebraic expression for the viscosity of the liguid in the devier in terms of the known parameters: M,g,Vm,r,R,a, and H.
(b) Use your formula to evaluate the viscosity of the liguid using:
M=0.10kg,r=25mm
R=50mm,a=0.20mm
H=80mm,Vm=30mms
Answer: =0.065kgm*s.
