Question: ( 2 0 pts ) 2 ) A cylindrical rod of diameter D and length L is being pulled horizontally at a constant velocity U

(20 pts)2) A cylindrical rod of diameter D and length L is being pulled horizontally at a constant velocity U0 through a Newtonian liquid with dynamic viscosity . The rod moves between two fixed plates, each separated from the rod by a small distance t. The velocity distribution of the liquid around the rod is given by: u=Uo[1-(yt)2].
where y=0 is at the surface of the rod, and y=t is at the fixed plate. End effects of the cylindrical rod can be neglected.
a) Derive an expression for the shear stress developed in the liquid.
b) Derive an expression the force F required to pull the rod at the constant velocity Uo.
c) Draw the velocity distribution u and shear stress distribution in the liquid around the rod.
