A piston 79.6 mm diameter and 210 mm long works in a cylinder 80 mm
diameter. If the annular space is filled with a lubricating oil having a viscosity of
0.065 kg/ms, calculate the speed with which the piston will move through the
cylinder when an axial load of 85.6 N is applied. Neglect the inertia of the piston.

The required formulae for the speed is:
Speed = viscocity x volume 
= .065 x (3.14x((80)2-(79.6)2)x210) 
= 2.7 m/sec
