Properties of Matter 4 Question 17
19. A liquid of density is filled in a cylindrical tank of upper radius and lower radius . A capillary tube of length is attached at the bottom of the tank as shown in the figure. The capillary has outer radius and inner radius . When pressure is applied at the top of the tank volume flow rate of the liquid is and if capillary tube is detached, the liquid comes out from the tank with a velocity .
Determine the coefficient of viscosity of the liquid .

Answer:
Correct Answer: 19.
Solution:
- When the tube is not there,
This is also the excess pressure
By Poiseuille’s equation, the rate of flow of liquid in the capillary tube
Substituting the values, we have
