A metal block of Film area 0.10 m2 is connected to a 0.01 kg mass is string that passes over a massless and frictionless pulley as shown figure. A liquid with a film thickness of 0.3 mm is placed between the block and the table. When released the block moves to the right with a constant speed of 0.085 m s-1. The coefficient of viscosity of the liquid is (Take g=10 m s-2)

Glycerine is filled in 25 mm wide space between two large plane horizontal surfaces. A thin plate of area 0.75 m2 at a distance of 10 mm from one of the surfaces is in horizontal position between the plates inside the glycerine. It is dragged horizontally at a constant speed of 0.5 m/s. Take coefficient of viscosity η=0.5 N sm2. If the force required to drag the plate at constant speed is 125X4 newton, find the value of X.
