A flat plate of width L = 1 m is pushed down with a velocity U = 0.01 m/s towards a wall resulting in the drainage of the fluid between the plate and the wall as shown in the figure. Assume two- dimensional incompressible flow and that the plate remains parallel to the wall. The average velocity, uavg of the fluid (in m/s) draining out at the instant shown in the figure is _____ (correct to three decimal places).
-
- 1.5 m/s
- 0.1 m/s
- 0.05 m/s
- None of these
Correct Option: C
By mass conservation:- 2(s × uavg × db) = (s. u × Lb)
⇒ 2 × vavg × 0.1 = 0.01 × 1
uavg = 0.05 m/s
