The automatic flag raising system on a horizontal flagpole attached to the vertical outside wall of a tall building has become stuck. The management of the building wants to send a person crawling out along the flagpole to fix the problem.
Because of your physics knowledge, you have been asked to consult with a group to decide whether or not this is possible.
You are all too aware that no one could survive the 250 foot fall from the flagpole to the ground. The flagpole is a 120 lb steel I-beam which is very strong and rigid. One side of the flagpole is attached to the wall of the building by a hinge so that it can rotate vertically. Nine feet away, the other end of the flagpole is attached to a strong, lightweight cable.
The cable goes up from the flagpole at an angle of 30° until it reaches the building where it is bolted to the wall. The mechanic who will climb out on the flagpole weighs 150 lbs including equipment. From the specifications of the building construction, both the bolt attaching the cable to the building and the hinge have been tested to withstand a force of 500 lbs.
Your boss wants to know if the mechanic will be OK at the far end of the flagpole, nine feet from the building.

Two horizontal plates with infinite length and width are separated by a distance h in the z direction. the bottom plate is moving at a velocity u. the incompressible fluid trapped between the plates is moving in the positive x-direction with the bottom plate. align gravity with positive z. assume that the flow is fully-developed and laminar. if the systems operates at steady state and the pressure gradient in x-direction can be ignored, do the following: 1. sketch your system 2. identify the coordinate system to be used. 3. show your coordinates and origin point on the sketch. list all your assumptions. 5. apply the continuity equation to your system. nts of navier stokes equations of choice to your system 7. solve the resulting differential equation to obtain the velocity profile within the system make sure to list your boundary conditions. check units of velocity 8. describe the velocity profile you obtain using engineering terminology. sketch that on the same sketch you provided in (1). 9. obtain the equation that describes the volumetric flow rate in the system. check the units.
