PROBLEM 9.6
Situation: A plate being pulled over oil is described in the problem statement.
Find: (a) Express the velocity mathematically in terms of the coordinate system
shown.
(b) Whether flow is rotation or irrotational.
(c) Whether continuity is satisfied.
(d) Force required to produce plate motion.

ANALYSIS
By similar triangles u/y = umax /∆t

Umax

U ∆y
y
U

or

u = (umax /∆y)y
u = (0.3/0.002)y m/s
u = 150 y m/s
v = 0

For flow to be irrotational ∂u/∂y = ∂V /∂x here ∂u/∂y = 150 and ∂V /∂x = 0 . The
equation is not satisfied; flow is rotational .
∂u/∂x + ∂v/∂y = 0 (continuity equation) ∂u/∂x = 0 and ∂v/∂y = 0
so continuity is satisfied.
Use the same formula as developed for solution to Prob. 9-1, but W sin θ = Fshear .
Then

Fs = AµV /t
Fs = 0.3 × (1 × 0.3) × 4/0.002
Fs =180 N

PROBLEM 9.7
Situation: The figure in problem 2.30 is for the velocity distribution in a liquid such
as oil.
Find: Whether each of the statements (a) though (e) is true or false.

ANALYSIS
Valid statements are (c), (e).

PROBLEM 9.8
Situation: A wire being pulled though a tube is described in the problem statement.
Find: Viscous shear stress on the wire compared to that on the tube wall.

ANALYSIS
The shear force is the same on the wire and tube wall; however, there is less area in
shear on the wire so there will be a greater shear stress on the wire.
