### Viscosity in Newtonian Fluids

#### Concept Explanation

Viscosity is the measure of a fluid's resistance to deformation at a given rate. It describes how thick or thin a fluid is and how easily it flows. In this demonstration, a shearing force (\( F = 10 \) dynes) is applied to a rectangular plate of dimensions \( 5 \times 10 \) cm. This setup involves a Newtonian fluid, which is a fluid where the viscosity remains constant regardless of the rate of shear.

#### Diagram Description

The diagram on the left illustrates a Newtonian fluid sheared between two plates. The top plate labeled "A" is a moving plate with velocity (\( u_{\text{plate}} = u_{\text{max}} \)), exerted by a force (\( \vec{F} \)). The bottom plate is stationary. The fluid has a velocity gradient (shown by arrows), starting from zero at the stationary plate (\( u_{\text{fluid}} = 0 \)) to the maximum plate velocity at the moving plate (\( u_{\text{fluid}} = u_{\text{max}} \)). The distance between the plates is \( h \).

On the right side, there is a graph setup with axes labeled \( \tau \) (shear stress) and \( \dot{\gamma} \) (rate of shear), indicating a relationship yet to be plotted.

#### Problem Statement

**1.2** **Viscosity Problem Set:**
A shearing force is applied to initiate movement in the Newtonian fluid.

1. What is the viscosity of this Newtonian fluid?
2. What shearing force \( F \) would be required if the fluid column height \( h \) were doubled?
3. What shearing force \( F \) would be required if the fluid column height \( h \) were halved?
4. Plot the viscosity on the provided rate of shear vs. shear stress graph.

#### Additional Information

- **Dimensions:** 
  - Plate: \( 5 \times 10 \) cm
  - Fluid Column Height: \( h = 0.5 \) mm
- **Velocity:** \( u = 1 \) cm/s
- **Force:** \( F = 10 \) dynes
- **Conversion Note:** \( 1 \text{ dyne} = 1 \text{ g cm s}^{-2} \
