1.(7 points) In the lectures, we derived an expression for the velocity field for viscous flow between two parallel plates for two scenarios: With stationary plates and a pressure gradient \(\left(\frac{\partial p}{\partial x}\right)\) in the direction of flow, and with moving plates but no pressure gradient. Here we combine these two scenarios: Suppose now that we again have two plates that are a distance of \(2 h \) apart, with the top plate is moving with a velocity of \( U_{U}\), and the bottom plate is moving with a velocity \( U_{L}\), and with a nonzero pressure gradient \(\frac{\partial p}{\partial x}\)(which we can assume to be constant).
(a) Determine the velocity profile of this flow.
(b) Determine the volumetric flow rate between the plates, per unit width.
