3. A hydrostatic bearing is to support a load of 1000 lbf/ft of length perpendicular to the diagram. The bearing is supplied with SAE 10W-30 oil at 212 °F and 35 psig through the central slit. Since the oil is viscous and the gap is small, the flow may be considered fully developed. Calculate (a) the required width of the bearing pad, (b) the resulting pressure gradient, dp/dx, and (c) the gap height, if the flow rate is Q = 2.5 gal/hr/ft. W
