Three parallel flat plates are separated by two fluids. Plate 1(at the top) is at rest. Between plates 1 and 2 there is water at 20 C and between plates 2 and 3 there is soybean oil at the same temperature. The distance between each plate is 7 cm. Plate 3(at the bottom9) moves at 5m/s in the (-x) direction. Calculate: a) the speed of plate 2 in a steady state. b) the force per unit area on plate 3 required to maintain the speed at 5 m/s.
