Answer #1

The thickness of water layer is so small that we can assume the velocity variation between  the layer to be linear

Viscous force acting on the plate = applied force = u**A (1)

where, \mu = dynamic viscosity = 0.0018 Pa-s

u = velocity of plate

h = thickness of water layer = 0.0005 m

A = area of plate = 0.5 m2

From (1), 20 = 0.0018*u*0.5/0.0005

=> u = 11.11 m/s

acceleration of plate, a = F/m

= 20/10

= 2 m/s2

Now once the external force is removed, plate moves with constant acceleration

Final velocity of plate, v = 0

Distance travelled by plate before coming to rest (s) is obtained from Newtons law of motion

  v=u+2*a*s

=> 0 = 11.112 + 2*2*s

or s = 30.86 m
