 Problem 2: A thin 20-cm x 20-cm flat plate is pulled

Problem 2: A thin 20-cm x 20-cm flat plate is pulled at 1 m/s horizontally through a 3.6-mm-thick oil layer sandwiched between two plates, one stationary and the other moving at a constant velocity of 0.3 m/s, as shown in Figure. The dynamic viscosity of oil is 0.027 Pa.s. Assuming the velocity in each oil layer to vary linearly, (a) plot the velocity profile and find the location where the oil velocity is zero and (b) determine the force that needs to be applied on the plate to maintain this motion. (u = 0.027 Pa s = 0.027 N-s/m.) Fixed wall Ih = 1 mm V=1 m/s F h2 = 2.6 mm Vy = 0.3 m/s Moving wall Your solution steps: (10 Marks) Step 1: Assumptions Step 2: Properties Step 3: Solution Your Answer: (10 Marks) Location: .......(inset your answer here) (5 Marks) Force: (inset your answer here)
