A concentric cylinder viscometer is driven by a falling mass (M) connected by a cord and pulley
Question:
A concentric cylinder viscometer is driven by a falling mass \(M\) connected by a cord and pulley to the inner cylinder, as shown. The liquid to be tested fills the annular gap of width \(a\) and height \(H\). After a brief starting transient, the mass falls at constant speed \(V_{m}\). Develop an algebraic expression for the viscosity of the liquid in the device in terms of \(M, g, V_{m}, r, R, a\), and \(H\). Evaluate the viscosity of the liquid using:
\[\begin{array}{rlrl} M & =0.10 \mathrm{~kg} & r & =25 \mathrm{~mm} \\ R & =50 \mathrm{~mm} & a & =0.20 \mathrm{~mm} \\ H & =80 \mathrm{~mm} & V_{m} & =30 \mathrm{~mm} / \mathrm{s} \end{array}\]
