Consider steady, incompressible, and fully developed laminar flow of a viscous liquid down an incline with no pressure gradient. the velocity profile was derived in example 5.9. calculate the kinematic viscosity of the liquid if the film thickness on a 30o slope is 0.8 mm and the maximum velocity is 15.7 mm/s

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
