A fluid between two very long parallel plates is heated in a way that its viscosity decreases linearly from 0.90 PM at the lower plate to 0.50 PM at the upper plate. The spacing between the two plates is 0.4 mm. The upper plate moves steadily at a velocity of 10 m/s, in a direction parallel to both plates. The pressure is constant everywhere, the fluid is Newtonian, and assumed incompressible. Neglect gravitational effects. (a) Obtain the fluid velocity u as a function of y, u(y), where y is the vertical axis perpendicular to the plates. Plot the velocity profile across the gap between the plates. (b) Calculate the value of the shear stress. Show the direction of the shear stress on the moving plate and on the top surface of the fluid element adjacent to the moving plate.

- A steel ball with the density of 6229 kg/m and the radius of 0,65 cm was dropped into the oil whose viscosity was to be measured as isseen in the figure. When the ball attains a constant velocity, the distance that the ball travelled was measured as 99 cm within the time interval of 4,7 sec. Before the experiment, the mass of the 100 ml-oil was measured as 2,1 gr. According to the data given above, find; a) the density of the oil (in kg/m ). (Please do not use any decimal digit.) b) the speed of the steel ball after the ball attains a constant velocity (in m/s). (Please use 4 decimal digits.) c) the dynamic viscosity of the oil (in Pa.s) (Please use 3 decimal digits.) d) the flow Reynolds number. (Please use 4 decimal digits.)
