A metal sphere of radius 2mm2\,\text{mm} falls through a liquid with a constant terminal velocity of 5cm/s5\,\text{cm/s}. If another metal sphere of radius 4mm4\,\text{mm} of the same material is dropped in the same liquid, what will be its terminal velocity?

Q5medium

A fluid flows through a pipe of uniform cross-section. If the velocity of the fluid at the center of the pipe is VmaxV_{max}, and the velocity at the walls is zero (due to no-slip condition), which of the following best describes the velocity profile for laminar flow?

Q6medium

A liquid of viscosity 0.8Pa s0.8\,\text{Pa s} is flowing between two parallel plates, 10cm10\,\text{cm} apart. The upper plate is moving at 2m/s2\,\text{m/s} relative to the stationary lower plate. What is the shear stress exerted on the lower plate?
