A fixed viscosity and gap turn speed differences into checked stress rows. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

Four metres per second over four metres gives one per second

Viscosity stays 4 Pa*s. Speed difference 4 m/s over gap 4 m gives stress 4 Pa.

44/4=44\cdot4/4=4

Eight metres per second doubles the stress

The gap and viscosity remain fixed. Speed difference 8 m/s gives stress 8 Pa.

48/4=84\cdot8/4=8

Twelve metres per second gives twelve pascals

Speed difference 12 m/s makes shear rate 3 reciprocal seconds and stress 12 Pa.
