A proposal has been made to use a pair of parallel disks to measure the viscosity of a liquid sample. The upper disk rotates at height h above the lower disk. The viscosity of the liquid in the gap is to be calculated from measurements of the torque needed to turn the upper disk steadily. Obtain an algebraic expression for the torque needed to turn the disk. Could we use this device to measure the viscosity of a non-Newtonian fluid?

Adouble-strand no. 60 roller chain is used to transmit power between a 13-tooth driving sprocket rotating at 300 rev/min and a 52-tooth driven sprocket. a) what is the allowable horsepower of this drive? b) estimate the center-to-center distance if the chain length is 82 pitches. c) estimate the torque and bending force on the driving shaft by the chain if the actual horsepower transmitted is 30 percent less than the corrected (allowable) power.

Ahe-xe mixture containing a 0.75 mole fraction of helium is used for cooling electronics in an avionics application. at a temperature of 300 k and atmospheric pressure, calculate the mass fraction of helium and the mass density, molar concentration and molecular weight of the mixture. if the cooling capacity is 10 l, what is the mass of the coolant?
