A Newtonian fluid of viscosity μ flows between two parallel plates due to the motion of the bottom plate (as shown below), which is moved with a velocity V. The top plate is stationary.
The force per unit area (in the x-direction) that must be exerted on the bottom plate to maintain the flow is
A
μV/b
B
-μV/b
C
2μV/b
D
-2μV/b

Correct : a
