Question: The relative velocity of two parallel layers of water is 8 cm/sec. If the perpendicular distance between the layers is 0.1 cm. Then velocity gradient will be

Options:

A) 80/sec

B) 60/sec

C) 50/sec

D) 40/sec

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] $ dv=8cm/s $ and $ dx=0.1cm $ Velocity gradient =$ \frac{dv}{dx}=\frac{8}{0.1}=80/s $
