Problem 2.41 PDF

This document provides the solution to a physics problem calculating the force on the lower parallel plate given the velocity distribution between the plates. The key steps are: 1) The shear stress and force equations are defined in terms of the velocity gradient and plate area. 2) The velocity distribution is defined as a function of position between the plates. 3) Substituting the given parameter values into the equations calculates the force to be 2.28 N to the right.

Problem 2.

41 [Difficulty: 2]

Given: Velocity distribution between parallel plates

Find: Force on lower plate

Solution:
du
Basic equations F = τyx⋅ A τyx = μ⋅
dy
⎡ 2⎤
du d
u max⋅ ⎢1 − ⎛ 2 ⋅ y ⎞ ⎥ = u ⋅ ⎛ − 4 ⎞ ⋅ 2⋅ y = − 8 ⋅ umax⋅ y
= ⎜ max ⎜ 2
dy dy ⎣ ⎝ h ⎠⎦ 2
⎝ h ⎠ h

8 ⋅ μ⋅ u max⋅ y 8 ⋅ A⋅ μ⋅ u max⋅ y
so τyx = − and F=−
2 2
h h

h 2
At the lower surface y=− and h = 0.1⋅ mm A = 1⋅ m

m − 3 N⋅ s
u max = 0.05⋅ μ = 1.14 × 10 ⋅ (Table
s 2 A.8)
m

2 − 3 N⋅ s m −0.1 1⋅ m ⎛ 1 ⋅ 1 × 1000⋅ mm ⎞
Hence F = −8 × 1 ⋅ m × 1.14 × 10 ⋅ × 0.05⋅ × ⋅ mm × × ⎜

m
s 2 1000⋅ mm ⎝ 0.1 mm 1⋅ m ⎠

F = 2.28⋅ N (to the right)
