Question: A thin plate moves between two parallel horizontal stationary flat plates at a constant velocity of 5 m / s . The two stationary flat

A thin plate moves between two parallel horizontal stationary flat plates at a constant velocity of 5 m/s. The two stationary flat plates are 4 mm apart, and the medium between them is filled with oil whose viscosity is 0.9 Pa-s. The part of the plate immersed in oil at any given time is 2-m long, and 0.5 m wide. If the thin plate is placed equidistant from both plates above and below it, calculate the drag force required to maintain its motion.(50 points)
