PROBLEM 1(20 points): A block of mass m is sliding down an incline with an angle from the horizontal, on a thin film of oil. The gravity vector points down in the vertical direction. The thickness of the fluid film layer is h and the area of the block contacting the fluid is A. The viscosity of the oil is .(a) Derive an expression for the terminal velocity, VB, of the block as a function of these parameters. (b) Given that the block has a contact area of 0.05m2. The thickness of the fluid film is 1 mm , the fluid has a viscosity of 0.38Pa-s, the mass of the block is 2.5 kg , at what angle will the block reach a terminal velocity of 1.0ms? Assume the velocity distribution in the fluid is linear.
