If the shearing stress between the horizontal layers of water in a river is 1.5mN/m2 and ηwater=1×10−3Pa−s , The velocity gradient is:
The velocity of water in a river is 18 km h-1 near the surface. If the river is 5 m deep, find the shearing stress between the horizontal layers of water. The coefficient of viscosity of water = 10-2 poise.
