A 5 kg cylinder of diameter (Di) 100 mm and length (L) 200 mm falls through a lubricated bearing of diameter (Do) 101 mm. If the cylinder is falling at a terminal velocity of 1.5 m/s determine the absolute viscosity oil of the oil surrounding the sides of the cylinder.
viscous force is upwards and weight acts downward.
It is moving with terminal velocity implies that net force on the cylinder is zero.So equating 2 forces gives viscosity of oil.
