There is flow between two plates as shown in the schematic. The bottom plate is stationary. The top plate is moving at a constant velocity of U = 1 m/s. The gap between the two plates is h = 0.005 m. The fluid has a viscosity of 2 N-s/m2. Assume the fluid is Newtonian.
A) Write the velocity profile, v of the fluid between the plates in terms of y, h and U.
B) Calculate the shear stress acting on the top and bottom surfaces (at y = 0 and y = h).
