2C30.10viscosity discPIRA 1000
2C30.10viscosity discM-62A horizontal disc is hung on a single thread and a second disc is spun below it causing deflection.
2C30.11viscosity discM-61A disc is spun between two parallel plates of a platform balance and the deflection is noted.
2C30.12viscosity discM-56A metal sheet and a disc are mounted parallel in a container of fluid. Rotate the disc and observe the displacement of the sheet by projection.
2C30.13viscosity - viscosimeterM-55Coaxial cylinders are separated by a fluid. As the outer cylinder is rotated, the drag induced motion of the inner cylinder is observed by optical lever magnification.
2C30.15pulling an aluminum plate17-3.1Use a string and pulley to a mass to pull an aluminum plate out of a viscous fluid ( GE Silicone Fluid, SF-96/10,000).
2C30.20viscocity in capillaryAJP 33(10),848A Mariotte flask with a capillary out on the bottom permits varying the pressure at cm of water.
2C30.25viscosity of oilPIRA 1000
2C30.25viscosity of oilFm-2Invert several sealed tubes filled with oil. Air bubbles rise.
2C30.25oil viscosityDisc 14-06Quickly invert tubes of oil and watch the bubbles rise to the top.
2C30.30temperature and viscosity17-3.3Tubes filled with motor oil and silicone oil are inverted at room temperature and after cooling with dry ice/alcohol.
2C30.30viscosity and temperatureM-57Rotate a cylinder of castor oil in a water bath on a turntable. Heated from 5-40 C, the viscosity falls 15:1.
2C30.45termimal velocity - drop ballsMb-32Precision ball in a precision tube.
2C30.50terminal velocity in water, glycerinPIRA 500
2C30.50terminal velocity in water, glycerin2C30.50Drop balls in large 1 meter test tubes, one filled with water, the other with glycerine.
2C30.50terminal velocity - drop ballsFm-1A steel ball is dropped into a graduate filled with oil.
2C30.50viscous dragDisc 14-02Steel, glass, and lead balls are dropped in a tall cylinder filled with glycerine.
2C30.51terminal velocity - diameter17-4.1Steel balls of different diameters are dropped in glycerine.
2C30.52terminal velocity - diameter17-4.3Three steel balls of different diameters are sealed in a 4' tube. Illuminate with a lamp at the bottom.
2C30.53terminal velocity - specific gravity17-4.2Four balls of the same diameter with carefully adjusted specific gravity are dropped in glycerine.
2C30.55ball dropPIRA 1000
2C30.55terminal velocity - styrofoam ballAJP 34(4),xviiA 2" dia. styrofoam ball reaches terminal velocity in 5 1/2 m.
2C30.55ball dropDisc 14-03Several balls including styrofoam balls of three diameters are dropped four meters. Use stop frame and take data.
2C30.56terminal velocity - dylite beadsAJP 35(2),xxDylite beads reach terminal velocity quickly in water, and when expanded by heating in boiling water, are also useful in air.
2C30.60terminal velocity - styrofoamPIRA 500
2C30.60terminal velocity - styrofoam2C30.60Drop styrofoam half round packing pieces.
2C30.65terminal velocity coffee filtersPIRA 1000
2C30.65terminal velocity coffee filters2C30.65Drop a coffee filter and it descends with low terminal velocity. Crumple one and drop it.
2C30.65air frictionDisc 14-01Drop crumpled and flat sheets of paper.
