2.The viscosity distribution in a pipe is given by the relation, U = ( 3 y 2−2 ) , where U = velocity of the fluid
at a distance, y from a solid boundary wall. Calculate. (i) shear stress at the wall (ii) shear stress at 1cm
from the wall. (iii) total resistance for 3.5cm pipe over a length of 7.55m.
