The velocity distribution for the flow of a
Newtonian fluid between two wide parallel
3𝑉 𝑦 2
plates is 𝑈 = 1− where V = mean
2 ℎ
velocity. The fluid has a viscosity of 0.04 𝐼𝑏𝑠 ∗
2
𝑓𝑡 . When V = 2ft/s and h = 0.2 in.
Determine a.) the shearing stress acting on the
bottom wall , b.) the shearing stress acting on
a plane parallel to the walls & passing
through the centerline (mid-plane).
