A gas fills up the space between two long coaxial cylinders of radii R1 and R2, with R1 < R2. The outer cylinder rotates with a fairly low angular velocity ω about the stationary inner cylinder. The moment of friction forces acting on a unit length of the inner cylinder is equal to N1. Find the viscosity coefficient η of the gas taking into account that the friction force acting on a unit area of the cylindrical surface of radius r is determined by the formula σ = ηr(δω/δr).

We neglect the moment of inertia of the gas in a shell. Then the moment of friction forces on a unit length of the cylinder must be a constant as a function of r.
