Solving time: 3 mins

A thin square plate of side, $l = 10 c m$ is dragged with constant velocity, $v$ = $3$ $c m / s$ in an oil. The width $d$ of the oil column is $2 mm$ . Square plate is placed symmetrically as shown in the figure. Assumed velocity of layer of oil at the end is negligible. The coefficient of viscosity is $150$ $p o i se$ . Find the horizontal force (in $N$ ) required to move the square plate with constant velocity.

Since the plate moves with constant velocity, the net force acting on the plate must be zero.
Hence

F_{a} = 2 \times F_{v i s} = 2 η A \frac{d v}{d y}

= 2 η \times l^{2} \times \frac{v}{d /2}

= \frac{4 η l ^{2} v}{d}

= \frac{4 \times \frac{150}{10} \times 1 0 ^{- 2} \times 3 \times 1 0 ^{- 3}}{2 \times 1 0 ^{- 3}}

= 9 N
