You would like to move water up a solid block, as shown in the figure. If the speed of the belt (v) is 13.9cm/s and the angle the surface of the block makes with the surface of the water is 22 degrees, what is the flow rate of the water per unit width up the surface of the block in cm2/s ? Assume that the density of the liquid is 0.99g/cm3 and the viscosity of the liquid is 0.062g/(cms). Also, the gap between the belt and the surface of the block (d) is 0.033cm. You built the device from the last question and now you test it and there is no flow rate coming out the top. You check and find they didn't build it to your specifications. You decrease the angle of the block and water begins to come out the top. What was the angle that they built (i.e., the maximum angle that the pump would just barely not work) in degrees? Because Canvas can't remember the numbers from the last problem, use the following: v=0.21cm/s,d=0.019cm,rho=1.01g/cm3, mu=0.046g/(cms)
