In a liquid, the force required to maintain the flow of layers is 5N, velocity gradient in du/dx, area of contact is 20m2. Then what is the value of viscosity?

In a liquid, the force required to maintain the flow of layers is 5N, velocity gradient in du/dx, area of contact is 20m2. Then what is the value of viscosity? Correct Answer 0.25 dz/du

The formula of force required to maintain the flow of layers is given by the formula F = ηAdu/dz, where η is the coefficient of viscosity, A is the area of contact and du/dz is the velocity gradient. So by substituting we get an answer as 0.25dz/du.
