Water is flowing on a horizontal fixed surface,such that its flow velocity varies with $y$ (vertical direction) as $v = k \left( \frac{2y^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^3}{a^3} \right)$. If the coefficient of viscosity for water is $\eta$,what will be the shear stress between the layers of water at $y = a$?

  • A
    $\frac{\eta k}{a}$
  • B
    $\frac{\eta}{ka}$
  • C
    $\frac{\eta a}{k}$
  • D
    None of these
