Step 1
1 of 2The velocity of the oil at point distanced from the center of the disk is , where is the angular velocity of the disk. Since the velocity profile is linear, we have:
where is the thickness of the oil. The shear stress can now be expressed as:
where is the viscosity of the fluid, and we have made explicit that the shear stress is -dependent. The sought shear stresses at and can now be easily calculated:
since .
