An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya
a
The resistive force of liquid on the plate is inversely proportional to h
b
The resistive force of liquid on the plate is independent of the area of the plate
c
The tangential (shear) stress on the floor of the tank increases with u0
d
The tangential (shear) stress on the plate varies linearly with the viscosity η of the liquid
answer is A.

Detailed Solution
viscous force is given by F=−ηAdvdy since h is very small therefore; magnitude of viscous force is given by ∴ F∝1h∴option 1 is correct F∝A ∴option 2 is incorrect ∴ F=ηAu0h⇒F∝η ∴Option 4 is correct & F∝u0 ∴Option 3 is correct
