Consider a steady, fully-developed, uni-directional laminar flow of an
incompressible Newtonian fluid (viscosity μ) between two infinitely long
horizontal plates separated by a distance 2H as shown in the figure.
The flow is driven by the combined action of a pressure gradient and the motion of the bottom
plate at y = −H in the negative x direction.
Given that ΔPL = (P1 − P2) / L > 0,
where P1 and P2 are the pressures at two x locations separated by a distance L.
The bottom plate has a velocity of magnitude V with respect to the stationary top plate at y = H.
Which one of the following represents the x-component of the fluid velocity vector?


Correct : c
