Answer FIVE questions, taking ANY TWO from Group A,
ANY Two from Group B and ALL from Group C.
All parts of a question (a, b, etc. should be
answered at one place.
Answer should be brief and to-the-point and be supple
mented with neat sketches. Unnecessary long answer may
result in loss of marks.
Any missing or wrong data may be assumed suitably
giving proper justification.
Figures on the right-hand side margin indicare full marks.

L. (a) Aplate 0.05 mm distant from a fixed plate movest
a speed of 1.2 m/s and requires a force of 2.2Nto
mintain this speed. The surface area of the moving
plate is 1 m and the gap between the two plates is
filled by a viscous luid. Find the co-efficient of
dynamic viscosity of the fluid

2. (a) The temperature on earths surface drops about
5C for every km rise in elevation above earths
surface. If the air temperature at the ground level

elevation pressure will be 380 mm of mercury.
Assume that air behave as ideal gas. 10
