The speed of the water in a river is $V$ near the surface. If the coefficient of viscosity of water is $\eta$ and the depth of the river is $H$,then the shearing stress between the horizontal layers of water is

  • A
    $\eta H / V$
  • B
    $\eta V / H$
  • C
    $\frac{V}{\eta H}$
  • D
    $\eta V H$

Viscosity is the property of a liquid due to which it :

$A$ metal block of base area $0.2\; m^{2}$ is connected to a $0.02\; kg$ mass via a string that passes over an ideal pulley as shown in the figure. $A$ liquid film of thickness $0.6\; mm$ is placed between the block and the table. When released,the block moves to the right with a constant speed of $0.17\; m/s$. The coefficient of viscosity of the liquid is:
