Problem 4. Shear Stress/Viscosity (20 points)
A block of weight W slides down an inclined plane while lubricated by a thin film of oil, as shown in the figure. The film contact area is A and its thickness is h.
a. Assuming a linear velocity distribution in the film, derive an expression for the "terminal" (zero acceleration) velocity V of the block.
b. Find the terminal velocity of the block if the block mass is 6kg,A=35cm2,=15, and the film is 1-mm-thick SAE 30 oil with =0.29kgm-s.
