Laminar flow of a fluid of viscosity 0.883 Ns/m² and specific gravity 1.26 occurs between a pair of parallel plates of extensive width, inclined at 45° to the horizontal, the plates being 10 mm apart. The upper plate moves with a velocity of 1.5 m/s relative to the lower plate and in a direction opposite to the fluid flow. Pressure gauges mounted at two points 1 m vertically apart on the upper plate record pressures of 245 kN/m2 and 78.5 kN/m2 respectively. Determine the velocity and shear stress distribution between the plates, the maximum flow velocity and the shear stress on the upper plate.
