Question

The space between two co-axial disks each of radius R is filled with oil film of thickness 'd'. If the coefficient of viscosity of the oil is η which statement is correct about the torque required to rotate one disc relative to other with angular speed ω.

Torque becomes 8 times if R is doubled.

Torque is independent of ω.

Torque becomes half if d is doubled

Torque increases 2 times if R is doubled
