∂p/∂x= -100N/cm2/cm, µ=0.4 poise and distance between plates is 1mm.
Q12. Laminar flow of fluid viscosity 0.90kg/s and mass density 1000kg/m 3 occurs between pair of

gauge is mounted at two points 1.2m vertically apart, on the upper plate record pressure of 75
kN/m2 and 250kN/m2. The upper plate moves with velocity of 2m/s relative to lower plate but in
opposite direction to the fluid flow. Calculate:
i. Velocity and shear stress distribution between plates
ii. Maximum flow velocity
iii. Shear stress on upper plate
