For the situation shown in the figure,water flows on the surface of a fixed plate. The velocity of water as a function of distance $y$ is given as: $u = \alpha \left[ \frac{y}{h} - 2\left( \frac{y}{h} \right)^2 \right]$. Determine the magnitude of the shear stress that the water applies at the base of the plate. The coefficient of viscosity is $\eta$.

There is a $1\, mm$ thick layer of glycerine between a flat plate of area $100\, cm^2$ and a big plate. If the coefficient of viscosity of glycerine is $1.0\, kg/(m\cdot s)$,then the force required to move the plate with a velocity of $7\, cm/s$ is $.......\, N$.
