Sheet 2
1- A plate 0.5 mm thick is moving vertically downward under its own weight
between two parallel plates filled with oil in between. The plate area is 1 m2.
The oil has viscosity of 0.15 kg/m.s. The plate moves with uniform velocity
of 0.4 m/s at equal distances from each of the fixed plates. The fixed plates
are 2.5 mm apart. Find the plate weight?

2- A thin 20-cm × 20-cm flat plate is pulled at 3 m/s horizontally through a


3.6-mm-thick oil layer sandwiched between two plates, one stationary and
the other moving at a constant velocity of 0.3 m/s, as shown in figure. The
dynamic viscosity of the oil is 0.027 Pa.s. Assuming the velocity in each oil
layer to vary linearly, (a) plot the velocity profile and find the location where
the oil velocity is zero and (b) determine the force that needs to be applied
on the plate to maintain this motion.

3- Aboard 1 m by l m that weighs 25 N slides down an inclined ramp


(slope=20° ) with a velocity of 2 cm/s. The board is separated from the ramp
by a thin film of oil with a viscosity of 0.05 Ns/m2.Neglecting edge effects,
calculate the spacing between the board and the ramp.

4- Determine the torque required rotating a 60 mm diameter vertical cylinder at


a constant angular velocity of 30 rad/s inside a fixed outer cylinder that has a
diameter of 60.2 mm. the gap between the cylinders is filled with SAE 10 oil
at 20℃. The length of the inner cylinder is 200 mm. Neglect bottom effect
and assume the velocity distribution in the gap is linear. If the temperature of
the oil increases to 80℃, what will be the percentage change in the torque?

5- A 25-mm-diameter shaft is pulled through a cylindrical bearing as shown in


Fig. 2. The lubricant that fills the 0.3-mm gap between the shaft and bearing
is an oil having a kinematic viscosity of 8.0 X10-4 m2/s and a specific
1
gravity of 0.91. Determine the force P required to pull the shaft at a velocity
of 3 m/s. Assume the velocity distribution in the gap is linear.

6- A 10-kg block slides down a smooth inclined surface as shown in Fig. 3.


Determine the terminal velocity of the block if the 0.1-mm gap between the
block and the surface contains SAE 30 oil at 60 °F. Assume the velocity
distribution in the gap is linear, and the area of the block in contact with the
oil is 0.1m2.

7- A layer of water flows down an inclined fixed surface with the velocity
profile shown in Fig. 4. Determine the magnitude and direction of the
shearing stress that the water exerts on the fixed surface for U = 2 m/s and h
=0.1 m .
