    The reading of pressure metre attached with a closed pipe is $4.5 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2$. On opening the valve, water starts flowing and the reading of pressure metre falls to $2.0 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2$. The velocity of water is found to be $\sqrt{\mathrm{V}} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$. The value of $\mathrm{V}$ is__________

    A metal block of base area $0.20\,m ^2$ is placed on a table, as shown in figure. A liquid film of thickness $0.25\,mm$ is inserted between the block and the table. The block is pushed by a horizontal force of $0.1\,N$ and moves with a constant speed. If the viscosity of the liquid is $5.0 \times 10^{-3} \;Pa-s$, the speed of block is $.........\times 10^{-3}\,m / s$
