Concept explainers
A block that is a mm square slides across a flat plate on a thin film of oil. The oil has viscosity μ and the film is h mm thick. The block of mass M moves at steady speed U under the influence of constant force F. Indicate the magnitude and direction of the shear stresses on the bottom of the block and the plate. If the force is removed suddenly and the block begins to slow, sketch the resulting speed versus time curve for the block. Obtain an expression for the time required for the block to lose 95 percent of its initial speed.

- - The figure below shows a block of mass m = 0.4 kg being dragged up an inclined plane at a constant velocity V by another block of mass M = 0.8 kg which descends at the same speed V. The inclined plane makes an angle of a = 31° with the horizontal. The two blocks are connected by an inelastic cord passing over a frictionless roller. The inclined plane is coated with a layer of lubricant of viscosity = 0.1 Pa.s and thickness h = 1 mm. The base area A of the block of mass m is 0.06 m². Assume a linear velocity profile within the lubricant layer. The gravitational acceleration g is 9.81 m/s². Determine the velocity V. V = m/s.
