25. EXAMPLE 1 (NEWTONIAN): Rotational Type Viscometer Concentric cylinder (Wide-gap rotational viscometer with spindle): A wide-gap rotational viscometer with a spring constant of 7,187 dynes.cm are used to measure a viscosity (cps; %) of RO-H 2 O. The outer radius (R c ), spindle radius (R b ), and height (L) of the cylindrical spindle are 2.75 cm, 1.50 cm and 5.0 cm respectively. Determine the viscosity ( ) in N.s/m 2 of RO-H 2 O. Measurement values are given below: Spindle speed (N) Device reading; cps (% scale) 20 rpm 16 50 rpm 22 100 rpm 45
