The upper plate shown is moving to the right with a velocity V, and the lower plate is free to move laterally under the action of the viscous forces applied to it. For steady-state conditions, derive an equation for the velocity of the lower plate. Assume that the area of oil contact is the same for the upper plate, each side of the lower plate, and the fixed boundary.
