Consider laminar flow of a Newtonian fluid of viscosity μ between two parallel plates. The flow is onedimensional, and the velocity profile is given as u(y) = 4umax [y/h − (y/h)2], where y is the vertical coordinate from the bottom surface, h is the distance between the two plates, and umax is the maximum flow velocity that occurs at midplane. Develop a relation for the drag force exerted on both plates by the fluid in the flow direction per unit area of the plates.
