HW1 Due Tuesday 28 Feb at the BEGINNING of class 1) Follow the required homework format to solve this shear

review problem. See the example problem on the HW format page on the LEARN site in the folder called Course Information Part of a transmission mechanism may be represented by a thin plate separating two viscous fluid channels h1 , 1 , and h2 , 2 as depicted. The plate has length L = .1m and width (into page) W = .05m . The plate moves to the left at VP 2m / s , while the top and bottom surfaces of the enclosure are stationary. a) Assuming a linear velocity profile and using the given coordinate system, give the equation of the velocity profile for the fluid in the upper and the lower sections. b) Draw a free body diagram of the plate and label al the forces acting on the plate indicating their direction with arrows. Find an expression for the Force (F) required to move the plate at constant velocity VP in terms of Vp, h1, h2, 1, 2, L, and W. c) What is the required force to value given the following data: h1 1mm, 1 .001kg / ms, and h2 1.5mm, 2 .003kg / ms
