Question: The torque M required to turn the cone-plate viscometer in Fig. P5.35 depends upon the radius R, rotation rate , fluid viscosity , and cone

The torque M required to turn the cone-plate viscometer in Fig. P5.35 depends upon the radius R, rotation rate Ω, fluid viscosity μ, and cone angle θ. Rewrite this relation in dimensionless form. How does the relation simplify if it is known that M is proportional to θ?
