Physics And Measurement Question 140

Question: According to Newton, the viscous force acting between liquid layers of area A and velocity gradient $ \Delta v/\Delta z $ is given by $ F=-\eta A\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta z} $ where $ \eta $ is constant called coefficient of viscosity. The dimension of $ \eta $ are?

[JIPMER 2001, 02]

Options:

A) $ [ML^{2}{{T}^{-2}}] $

B) $ [M{{L}^{-1}}{{T}^{-1}}] $

C) $ [M{{L}^{-2}}{{T}^{-2}}] $

D) $ [M^{0}L^{0}T^{0}] $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ F=-\eta A\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta z}\Rightarrow [\eta ]=[M{{L}^{-1}}{{T}^{-1}}] $

As $ F=[ML{{T}^{-2}}],A=[L^{2}],\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta z}=[{{T}^{-1}}] $
