  1. An incompressible fluid (kinematic viscosity, 7.4 × 10–7 m²/s, specific gravity, 0.88) is held between two parallel plates. If the top plate is moved with a velocity of 0.5 m/s while the bottom one is held stationary, the fluid attains a linear velocity profile in the gap of 0.5 mm between these plates: the shear stress in Pascals on the surface of top plate is
