Since the block moves with constant velocity, net force F on the block is zero.
The forces acting on the block are:
  ....(1) downward along the inclined plane
Viscous force   .....(2) where
is the are of a face of the cube which is in contact with the surface of the inclined plane.
is the coefficient of viscosity
is the velocity gradient
Equating (1) and (2),
