Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A fluid with a viscosity of 5 mPas is between two plates separated by 1 mm, with one plate moving at 2 m/s. Calculate the shear stress in the fluid.
💡 Hint: Use the formula for shear stress in a viscous fluid.
How would the flow change if both plates started moving in the same direction, at different speeds? Discuss the implications on the velocity profile.
💡 Hint: Think about the interaction between layers in the fluid.
