Shear stress $=\frac{F_{11}}{A}=\frac{F_{\text {viscous }}}{A}=\eta \frac{\Delta V}{\Delta y}$

(Velocity gradient $\left.=\frac{\Delta \mathrm{V}}{\Delta \mathrm{y}}\right)$

Shear stress $=10^{-3} \times \frac{5}{10}=0.5 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$

    Suppose you have taken a dilute solution of oleic acid in such a way that its concentration becomes $0.01 \,cm ^{3}$ of oleic acid per $cm ^{3}$ of the solution. Then you make a thin film of this solution (monomolecular thickness) of area $4\, cm ^{2}$ by considering $100$ spherical drops of radius $\left(\frac{3}{40 \pi}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \times 10^{-3}\, cm .$ Then the thickness of oleic acid layer will be $x \times 10^{-14} \,m$. Where $x$ is ...... .
