For the situation shown in the figure, water flows on the surface of a fixed plate. The
velocity of water as a function of distance $'y'$ is given as : $u = \alpha \left[ {\frac{y}{h} - 2{{\left( {\frac{y}{h}} \right)}^2}} \right]$ . Determine the magnitude of the shear stress that the water applies at the base of the plate. Coefficient of viscosity is $\eta$
  • A$\frac{{3\alpha \eta }}{h}$
  • B$\frac{{2\alpha \eta }}{h}$
  • C$\frac{{4\alpha \eta }}{h}$
  • D$\frac{{\alpha \eta }}{h}$

    An open-ended U-tube of uniform cross-sectional area contains water (density $10^3 kg m ^{-3}$ ). Initially the water level stands at $0.29 m$ from the bottom in each arm. Kerosene oil (a water-immiscible liquid) of density $800 kg m ^{-3}$ is added to the left arm until its length is $0.1 m$, as shown in the schematic figure below. The ratio $\left(\frac{h_1}{h_2}\right)$ of the heights of the liquid in the two arms is-
