Question

A smooth-sided piston 5 cm long and of diameter 5.000 cm moves within a cylinder of 5.010 cm diameter. The lubricating oil has a viscosity of 2 x 10^-3 N s/m^2. What force is required to move the piston at a speed of 12 m/s? The velocity in the gap between the cylinder and the piston may be assumed to vary linearly, as indicated in the sketch. (Ans. 3.77 N) Cylinder Oil 12 m/s Piston

Step 1

So, the thickness of the oil film (h) = (5.010 cm - 5.000 cm) / 2 = 0.005 cm = 0.00005 m. Show more…
