[4 points total] Two incompressible viscous fluids flow one on top of the other down an
inclined plate at an angle . They both have the same density, , but different viscosities 1
and 2. The lower fluid has depth h1 and the upper h2. Assuming that viscous forces from
the surrounding air is negligible and that the pressure on the free surface is atmospheric.
a.[2 points] Starting from continuity and Navier-Stokes, show that the fluid pressure P(y)=
Pa+gcos()(h1+h2-y)
b.[2 points] Show that the fluid velocity in the bottom layer is vx=[(h1+h2)y-12y2]gsin1
