Assume that µ=1.49 Pa•s and h=10 mm, both with negligible uncertainty.

In a Couette flow, two large flat plates lie one on top of another, separated by a thin layer of fluid. If a shear stress is applied to the top plate, the viscosity of the fluid produces motion in the bottom plate as well. The velocity V in the top plate relative to the bottom plate is given by V=?h/µ, where ? is the shear stress applied to the top plate, h is the thickness of the fluid layer, and µ is the viscosity of the fluid.

a. Suppose that ?=30.0 ± 0.1 Pa. Estimate V, and find the uncertainty in the estimate.
b. If it is desired to estimate V with an uncertainty of 0.2 mm/s, what must be the uncertainty in ??
