Question

2. Estimate the number of pounds of honey it would take to fill a 5 gallon jug

Answer 1

(a) 1 gallon = 8.35 pounds

So, 5 gallons = 5 x 8.35 = 41.75 pounds

So, 41.75 pounds of honey will be required to fill 5 gallon jug.

(b) Shear stress = 1.50 N/m^2 = 1.50 Pa

As we now, for water, dynamic viscosity = 10^-3 Pa*s at 20 deg C.

Therefore, the velocity gradient required = Shear stress / Dynamic viscosity

= (1.50 Pa) / (10^-3 Pa*s) = 1.50 x 10^3 /s
