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

    A) \[\frac{\eta k}{a}\]

    B) \[\frac{\eta }{ka}\]

    C) \[\frac{\eta a}{k}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Newton's law of viscosity, \[F=\eta A\frac{dv}{dy}\] Stress\[=\frac{F}{A}=\eta \left( \frac{dv}{dy} \right)=\eta k\left( \frac{4y}{{{a}^{2}}}-\frac{3{{y}^{2}}}{{{a}^{3}}} \right)\] At\[y=a\], Stress\[=\eta k\left( \frac{4}{a}-\frac{3}{a} \right)=\frac{\eta k}{a}\]
