Q2. The laminar flow of a Newtonian fluid between parallel plates is illustrated in the below figure. The velocity distribution for this flow is given by the equation: h2 aP V = 8p dx The total gap between the plates is 3 cm. The viscosity of the fluid is 0.5 Ns/m^2 and the pressure gradient is -1200 N/m^3. Find the magnitude and direction of the shear stress on the upper plate.

The velocity distribution for laminar flow between parallel plates is given by \[\frac{u}{u_{\max }}=1-\left(\frac{2 y}{h}\right)^{2}\] where $h$ is the distance separating the plates and the origin is placed midway between the plates, Consider a flow of water at $15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ with maximum speed of $0.05 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ and $h=0.1 \mathrm{mm}$. Calculate the force on a $1 \mathrm{m}^{2}$ section of the lower plate and give its direction.
Two fixed, horizontal, parallel plates are spaced 0.4 in. apart. A viscous liquid $\left(\mu=8 \times 10^{-3} 16 \cdot \mathrm{s} / \mathrm{ft}^{2}, 3 G=0.9\right)$ flows between the plates with a mean velocity of 0.5 fls. The flow is laminar. Determine the pressure drop per unit length in the direction of flow. What is the maximum velocity in the channel?
