A metal plate of area 0.15 meters squared is on top of a surface. The plate and surface are separated by a 0.3 mm film of lubricant. If a 8 N force is applied to the plate and it moves with a constant speed of 8.5 mm/s, what is the dynamic viscosity (Pa*s)?
_______________
Now assume the lubricant is WD-40 which, according to it's MSDS, has a specific gravity of 0.80. What is kinematic viscosity (sq. meters per second.)?
