Question: A thin 2 0 c m 2 0 c m flat plate is pulled at 2 m s horizontally through a 3 . 2 m

A thin 20cm20cm flat plate is pulled at 2ms horizontally through a 3.2mm-thick oil layer sandwiched between two walls, one stationary and the other moving at a constant velocity of 0.2ms, as shown below. The dynamic viscosity of the oil is 0.03N*sm2. Assume velocity in each oil layer to vary linearly.
(1). Sketch the velocity profile between the two walls. Note important points on the sketch.
(2). Find the location where the oil velocity is zero.
(3). Find the force that needs to be applied on the plate to maintain its motion.
(4).(6 extra points) Calculate the volume flow rates between the walls per unit width (width is along the direction perpendicular to the paper).
