Dynamic and Kinematic viscosities (b) An object having an area of 1.2m2 is sliding down an inclined plane at 400 to the horizontal with a velocity of 0.42m/sec. There is a thin film of fluid 2.2 mm thick between the sliding object and the plane. If the weight of the object is given by 320 N, find the viscosity of the fluid. [8+8] 2.

(a) Describe the principle and working of orifice meter with the help of a neat sketch. (b) In a calibration test of an orifice meter of with orifice diameter 4 cm is inserted in a pipe of 10 cm diameter.
