A cube shaped smooth steel block with size a = 5 cm is released on a smooth inclined surface which makes an angle of a = 15° with the horizontal. There is an olive oil layer between the block and inclined surface with thickness Ay = 0.1mm. • Draw this configuration properly and discuss briefly what will happen when the block is released. Show the forces acting on the sliding block when the velocity of the block is constant ( = 0) and write down the force equation for the axis parallel to inclined surface (ignore the resistance due to air). • Draw the linear velocity distribution across the thin layer of oil between the block and the inclined surface. • Perform an internet search for the specific weight of steel (Tated) and the dynamic viscosity of olive oil (Hdvcod) at 25°C.

fluid mechanics

A cube shaped smooth steel block with size a = 5 cm is released on a smooth inclined surface which
makes an angle of a = 15° with the horizontal. There is an olive oil layer between the block and
inclined surface with thickness Ay = 0.1mm.
• Draw this configuration properly and discuss briefly what will happen when the block is
released.
• Show the forces acting on the sliding block when the velocity of the block is constant
(atock = 0) and write down the force equation for the axis parallel to inclined surface
(ignore the resistance due to air).
• Draw the linear velocity distribution across the thin layer of oil between the block and the
inclined surface.
• Perform an internet search for the specific weight of steel (Yated) and the dynamic viscosity
of olive oil (Hdsveod) at 25°C.
• Calculate the maximum sliding velocity of the block.
