Asit singh you've made a mistake at end where you forgot to convert 0.8 poise to 0.08kg/ms

Explaination -

# Given -

r = 15 cm = 0.15 m

v = 2 m/s

μ = 0.8 poise

ρ = 0.9×1000 = 900 kg/m^3

# Solution -

Reynold's number is calculated by -

R = 2.ρ.v.r / μ

R = 2 × 900 × 2 × 0.15 / 0.8

R = 675

Therefore, Reynolds number iz 675
