The volume of liquid V flowing through a pipe of radius r in time t is given by:
V / t = πr 4 (P 1 – P 2 ) / 8ηL
where P 1 and P 2 are the pressures at each end of the pipe, L is its length and η (eta) is a physical quantity
called the viscosity of liquid. Use the following to determine η together with its uncertainty.
r = (0.43 ± 0.01) mm
P 1 = (1.150 ± 0.005) X 10 5 Pa
P 2 = (1.000 ± 0.005) X 10 5 Pa
L = (5.5 ± 0.1) cm
V = (10.0 ± 0.1) cm 3
t = (4.0 ± 0.1) s
